Questions, answered

Take-out & Refinancing — frequently asked questions

Long-term financing that repays short-term construction or bridge debt once a project completes.

Once an asset stabilises and can support cheaper, longer debt.

The asset’s stabilised income rather than its construction history — occupancy, lease lengths, tenant quality, net operating income and the resulting debt service cover. Because construction risk has gone, pricing and tenor improve materially compared with the development debt being replaced.

Yes — where the stabilised value supports more debt than is outstanding, a cash-out refinancing returns the difference to the sponsor. Developers commonly recycle that equity into the next land purchase or project, keeping the completed asset as a long-term income holding.

Before practical completion, not after. Starting while the project is finishing lets the facility close as income stabilises, avoiding an expensive period sitting on construction or bridge debt. With leasing evidence and a complete information pack, first term sheets typically follow within 30–90 days.

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.

Matchpoint has originated and led $2+ billion of transactions, with equity tickets typically USD 5m–300m, debt USD 10m–500m+, real estate finance USD 20m–500m+, and fund placements for funds of USD 50m–1bn+.
