Helaba refinancing for Elisenhof at 124 million euros

Helaba is providing EUR 124 million in funds to refinance the Elisenhof building in Munich, an office and retail property with a total rentable area of around 46,000 sqm originally built in 1984, for a company of the Tishman Speyer Group. The bank is acting as arranger, sole lender and hedging provider.

Tishman Speyer acquired the “Elisenhof” in 2006 and carried out a complete refurbishment. The 8-floor office and retail building is in an attractive location between the main railway station and the old botanical garden and is a sought-after address for law firms, management consultancies and medical practices.

Jebens Mensching advises Tishman Speyer in refinancing Eilsenhof. Jebens Mensching has already advised Tishman Speyer in several transactions in the past under the responsibility of Heiko Petzold. The latest transaction has been the purchase of the building complex located Mainzer Landstraße/Weserstraße in Frankfurt am Main, the related lease agreement with Deutsche Bank AG and subsequently the financing of this lage-scale project.
