The 2nd Annual Real Estate Finance in Latin America Seminar


Four Seasons Hotel
Mexico City, Mexico


September 9, 2008



Real estate in Latin America is booming. Growth, economic stability and financial innovation are spurring investment in real estate development projects throughout Latin America.

Mexico and Brazil are leading a wave of innovation that expands through most of Central and South America and into the Caribbean. This momentum is driving developers into new jurisdictions and new niches. And as they seek financing and refinancing they are generating new opportunities and asset classes for bankers, advisers and investors.


The 2nd Real Estate Finance in Latin America Seminar is the only event to explore and examine how real estate projects and companies are using new financing structures to support their growth – and thus the growth of direct and portfolio investment opportunities – from mid-income housing projects to major office buildings, from commercial opportunities to extensive tourism developments and industrial/logistics facilities.


The 2nd Real Estate Finance in Latin America Seminar will put together local and international developers and financiers and investors looking for opportunities in real estate assets to discuss and debate issues including:




  • Regulatory developments, funding options and financing needs

  • MBS and CMBS in real estate financing and investment

  • Opportunities and challenges in asset-backed construction finance

  • The role of private equity in Latam real estate

  • Mexican mortgages – financial innovations and investment opportunities

  • Capital markets financing of real estate and tourism development

  • Structuring and utilising REITs and REIT type vehicles in Latin America

  • Risk management and mitigation
