What the sponsor states
The business plan estimates a return of approximately 8%–18% from the third year. The investment presentation highlights 18% as a maximum annual return. These are project-level sponsor projections; the documents do not define the final investor coupon, dividend policy, equity percentage or exit proceeds.
What determines the investor’s actual return
- Whether the instrument is debt, mezzanine, preferred equity or ordinary equity.
- Funding date, construction draw schedule and the date from which return accrues.
- Security ranking, loan-to-value, guarantees and covenant protection.
- Actual construction cost, opening date, occupancy, room rate and operating margin.
- Refinancing or sale timing, transaction fees, tax and dilution.
