USD 320m project finance for a UAE development
The situation. A UAE developer needed to fund construction across a multi-phase real estate scheme, requiring a project-finance structure that matched drawdowns to construction milestones and satisfied senior lenders.
What we did. Matchpoint acted as project-finance adviser, structuring and arranging a USD 320m facility — sizing the debt against the development cash flows, coordinating the lender group and negotiating milestone-linked drawdown and security terms.
The outcome. The development secured committed project finance aligned to its construction programme, allowing the developer to build out the scheme on funded, predictable terms.
- Size: USD 320m
- Role: Project finance adviser
- Sector: Real estate
- Geography: UAE

Commercial Real Estate — frequently asked questions
Developers, institutional investors, funds and family offices across the UAE, wider GCC and India — from single-asset schemes to multi-project development platforms.
Matchpoint undertakes real-estate mandates from USD 5m upwards, spanning project finance, senior and mezzanine debt, JV equity, bulk inventory monetisation and sell-side.
Twenty-three sectors across five groups: real estate, infrastructure and data centres; oil and gas, power and utilities, renewable energy, metals and mining and chemicals; industrials, business services, transportation and maritime; consumer and retail, food and beverage, healthcare and sports; and technology, media and telecom, the innovation economy, financial institutions, financial sponsors and the public sector.
Each sector page sets out the relevant transactions, leadership experience and advisory capabilities for that market.
Practice areas describe what we do — equity, debt, M&A, alternatives and execution. Industries describe who we serve. Most mandates combine both: a sector view and the right capital product.
Engagements ordinarily combine a retainer with a success fee. Terms are agreed in writing before work begins and calibrated to the mandate’s size, scope and complexity.
Most mandates reach a first term sheet within 30 days, depending on diligence readiness and structure; closing follows once terms are agreed.
A short, confidential scoping call and NDA; we structure the requirement and prepare materials, then run a competitive process across our 5,000+ investor and lender relationships, and negotiate to close — with a partner leading at every step.
