Casas Group Dubai: Development Capital

Situation

Casas Group Dubai is a UAE brokerage and advisory group serving entrepreneurs and investors across real estate, business setup and international trade. The group required AED 12 million in development capital to advance a real estate project in the United Arab Emirates, and wanted a structured route to the right capital providers.

Process

Shelbourne Advisory acted as capital adviser to the company, working alongside the Casas Group team through six stages:

• Mandate and assessment. The client’s objectives, development requirements and funding expectations were assessed, and the parameters of the mandate set.
• Capital strategy and structure. The funding requirement was evaluated and the capital-raising approach chosen around the project’s objectives and the considerations investors would weigh.
• Positioning and preparation. The investment case was built and the transaction prepared for review by prospective capital providers.
• Capital sourcing. Investors and financing partners whose mandates matched the opportunity were approached in confidence.
• Negotiation. Discussions on the proposed financing and capital requirements were managed towards the intended funding outcome.
• Execution. The financing was taken through to completion.

Outcome

AED 12 million of development capital was raised for Casas Group Dubai, from providers whose objectives aligned with the project. It reflects Shelbourne’s work connecting credible GCC opportunities with appropriate capital, with discretion, commercial judgement and execution throughout.
