Back when interest rates were low, ECE took  advantage and extended loans until well into the 2030s. As a result, only a relatively low volume of loans came up (or are coming up) for renewal in 2023 and 2024, when the situation on the financial markets is more  fraught. Moreover, early on in each loan’s term ECE develops an extension strategy that is individually tailored to the respective investor’s needs, while also factoring in potential lenders’ ESG standards.

As a global company, ECE has extensive international experience and expertise in short-term development financing, longterm portfolio financing, and refinancing. We currently manage eight billion euros of loans provided by around 60 institutional lenders. With a weighted average remaining term of 4.4 years and an average loan of 76 million euros per property, on average one billion euros’ worth of loans come due for renewal each year. On top of that, we also provide financing for new projects.

​

On the equity side, we take advantage of our group’s strong financial position, with over 1.1 billion euros in equity. In addition, our fund management divisions ECE Real Estate Partners and ECE Living work with large institutional investors, including major insurers, real estate companies, pension providers, sovereign wealth funds, and pension and real estate funds.
