€104m Financing for the Redevelopment of a Former Industrial Site in Lyon Gerland

SHIFT CAPITAL acted as exclusive financial advisor to Ginkgo in structuring and arranging a €104m financing facility to support a large-scale urban redevelopment project in the Gerland district of Lyon.

The site, a former industrial zone, comprises over 72,000 sqm of buildable rights and is being redeveloped into a mixed-use neighborhood including retail, office, and residential components.

SHIFT CAPITAL’s involvement enabled the sponsor to maximize financing leverage amid a strong disconnect between LTV and LTC metrics.

SHIFT coordinated the lender selection process, led marketing efforts, negotiated term sheets, and optimized the financing terms and structure up to closing.
