Port Property Financial and Investment
Increasingly due to their inherent value port located surplus lands will require careful analysis to maximise their development potential in ways which will support a port's core business to attain maximum returns of and on invested capital and assets.
In this regard it is critical to determine existing and potential market demand in order to produce a port property strategy which will overarch a port’s overall business strategy. This requires an in-depth understanding of the property development process, a port’s business objectives and challenges and, increasingly, the requirements of international infrastructure investors in order to better manage and structure the varying needs and requirements of each party to obtain the end goal of the port.
This process offers ports the ability to raise capital, equity and debt, both on and off balance sheets, in order to develop land banks and re-develop existing obsolete facilities for the port in its quest to become self-reliant from a capital perspective.
