Real Estate Advisory
The right capital, on the right terms
Royal Oak advises borrowers and sponsors on capital structure — and then places it, across senior debt, mezzanine, hybrid capital and equity.
The same integrated capability that underwrites our own vehicles works for advisory clients: corporate finance discipline, live market intelligence from the Transact ecosystem, and relationships across every tier of the lender universe. The result is optimal structure, favourable pricing, and terms that survive contact with the credit committee.

The Lender Universe
Knowing who funds what — and at what price
Each tier of the market has a different appetite, cost and constraint. Advisory value is matching the transaction to the right tier, then negotiating from knowledge.
Domestic & international banks
The lowest cost of capital, and the most conservative: standard underwriting, and debt-cover requirements of 80–100%. Transactions must fit the box — and for those that almost do, existing relationships are what get them over the line.
Debt funds
More expensive than bank debt, but materially more flexible: lower debt-cover requirements, higher leverage, and genuine optionality in non-recourse lending, mezzanine debt and preferred equity.
Super funds, REITs & government agencies
Target larger transactions — typically above A$100 million — with strong appetite for green loans, including funding NABERS upgrades at discounted rates.
