The first edition of The District, an international event that puts real estate projects in contact with investors and funders from all over Europe, took place in Barcelona from 19 to 21 October. Altria Corpo was present in these three days contacting debt funds specialised in financing real estate projects.
The sessions that took place highlighted the growing and important role of alternative financing to carry out all types of real estate projects, from residential to logistics, industrial, retail and hospitality, or hotels, in a context of economic recession and credit crunch.
It is worth highlighting the dynamism of this sector despite the difficult macroeconomic circumstances, with new formulas such as Build to rent, coliving, senior living, student residences, data centres, etc., making headway. Innovative financing formulas were also presented, both by alternative funds and the so-called proptechs, as well as the possibilities offered by blockchain technology and the tokenisation of assets and debt.
Altria Corpo took the opportunity of these days to strengthen its relationship with many funds and will continue to expand its already extensive list of real estate financing solutions for the benefit of its clients.
