DLA Piper Mexico guided Vertex Real Estate Investors, a private fund manager specializing in real estate assets in Mexico, and MRP Group, a real estate asset manager, on the refinancing of The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort.
The US$100 million refinancing granted by BBVA México, structured at below 50 percent LTV, optimizes debt terms without increasing leverage and represents a key step in consolidating the resort's financial situation and providing it with greater flexibility to implement its growth strategy in the luxury hospitality sector. It also reinforces Vertex Real Estate Investors and MRP Group as key players in the real estate and tourism sectors, supporting their investment strategy in high-end hospitality.
Together, Vertex Real Estate Investors and Grupo MRP manage private equity funds with commitments exceeding US$2 billion. Vertex and/or its executives have participated in the development of shopping centers, residential projects, industrial warehouses, office buildings, and land developments worth more than US$4 billion, while MRP Group manages four real estate funds with commitments of more than US$1.45 billion.
