About
After 15 years at CBRE, having had a great time transacting over $12 Billion of Real Estate, I went back to running our own business again, this time with my son Sam, who is a real estate attorney and an ex-broker for a CBRE affiliate. It’s been over 8 years now and now Ben has joined us after leaving the army.
Our prime aim is to offer unbiased advice and to push the transactional barriers of new markets and unlock opportunities throughout the Globe, in particular the UK, Europe, America and Africa.
Market dynamics are changing. The particular challenge in this emerging post Covid19 era enhanced by political flux, is going to be liquidity for all businesses and we are going to see monetisation playing a big role in bridging the gap until the markets return to some normality.
Having worked all over the World since the early 80’s I’ve seen the effects of crisis in markets and have learned a lot of the lessons. You never stop learning and this current series of crisis is going to leave a unique legacy.
We are currently working on projects to reduce costs through consolidation for corporates, raising capital to pay for the change and strengthen the balance sheet through monetisation or redevelopment to match a different market.
This includes pushing boundaries with pre-structured transactions that we take to the marketplace which make it easier for international investors to bid for, particular in the more complex opportunities and the corporate is already comfortable with the parameters of the transactions, in particular IFRS16 treatment.
Since leaving CBRE and forming Balanced View we have been involved in some significant work Globally and have managed close to a Billion $ of restructuring, consolidation and monetisation to date. in 2024 we raised over $200 million for projects and properties.
We are now involved in some interesting office, hotel and mixed use schemes and developments in London & the UK, Europe, America and Africa. Our initial projects as part of the regeneration of Johannesburg and its new emerging property markets have also led to other amazing opportunities in South Africa, Lesotho, Zambia, Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon and other African Cities and Countries.
Challenging times but we are coming out the other side.
