Real estate project finance funds the construction and delivery of a development through a blend of senior debt, mezzanine and equity, drawn against construction milestones and repaid from sales or rental cash flows. Matchpoint Partners structures multi-tranche, milestone-linked project finance for UAE developers and coordinates the technical, legal and financial due diligence to lender requirements.
We work across residential, commercial and mixed-use schemes in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and the wider GCC, with capital from regional banks, private credit funds and equity partners.

A blend of senior debt, mezzanine and equity drawn against construction milestones.
Yes — technical, legal and financial DD to lender requirements.
Off-plan sale proceeds are held in a project escrow account and released against construction progress, so they fund the build rather than the developer directly. Lenders size facilities around the gap between escrow-funded costs and the total requirement, taking security outside the escrow such as a LandCo pledge and surplus receivables.
A feasibility study, costed development budget, approvals status, evidence of sales or demand, the sponsor’s equity contribution and a clear security package. With a complete pack, first term sheets typically arrive within 30–90 days; gaps in cost or approvals data are the usual cause of delay.
It is harder but achievable. Lenders substitute for track record with stronger structure — more sponsor equity, an experienced contractor under a fixed-price contract, tighter milestone controls and sometimes a development manager. Partnering with an established developer or capital partner through a JV is often the faster route.
Matchpoint structures the full capital stack for UAE developers — senior secured debt, mezzanine with LandCo control, project finance, land acquisition finance, Sukuk and private credit, plus JV equity and bulk inventory sales. Tickets range from USD 20m to USD 500m+.
Land acquisition finance is bridge or term debt to fund the purchase of development land before construction. We arrange programmes — including Sukuk and private credit at ~8.5%–12% target yields — for developers in Saadiyat, Reem Island, SZR and Dubai Islands.
A bulk inventory sale is the disposal of a block of completed or off-plan units to a single investor or institution at a negotiated discount. We run bulk SPA, OQOOD assignment and milestone-payment processes for developers seeking liquidity.
Matchpoint works primarily on a success fee, with a modest retainer to cover execution. Fees are agreed in writing up front and scaled to the size and complexity of the transaction — with no hidden costs.
Most mandates reach a first term sheet within 30–90 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.
Matchpoint Partners is based in the UAE and runs cross-border mandates across the UAE, KSA, India and the UK, with active deal activity in wider Europe, Singapore and the United States.
