Bridge & development finance
in Paris

Bridge and development finance for prime Paris real estate, from Haussmannian apartments to hôtels particuliers.

Paris combines a deep prime residential market with slow domestic bank processes, which has made bridge finance almost standard for international and HNW buyers. A bridge loan in Paris is used to acquire ahead of a sale, fund the refurbishment of Haussmannian stock, or release equity from a low-leverage asset, across the 7th, 8th, 16th and adjacent arrondissements.

Passy Partners arranges Paris bridge and development finance for non-resident and HNW borrowers, commonly held through an SCI or SCI à l'IS. The holding structure affects lender eligibility and IFI exposure and is settled with the borrower's notaire from term-sheet stage, rather than retrofitted afterwards.

Frequently asked

Paris bridge finance,
explained.

Yes, and most of our Paris flow involves non-resident borrowers. Acquisitions are commonly held through an SCI or SCI à l'IS, and our lender network is selected for its ability to underwrite non-resident principals and French holding structures. The structure affects lender eligibility and IFI exposure and is settled with the borrower's notaire before we approach lenders.
