Fox Capital is an independent advisory firm for real estate capital and corporate transactions. We structure financings, run sale and acquisition mandates and guide M&A processes – at deal sizes that are often too small for the large houses and too complex for local brokers.
This fact sheet is deliberately short. It answers the questions that come up in every first conversation anyway: what exactly do you do, from what size, who do you work with and how fast does it move.
What we do
Four areas that constantly overlap in practice. An owner looking for financing usually also has a sale option on the table – and we run both against each other before making a recommendation.
- Real estate financing: senior debt, whole loan, mezzanine, bridge, forward funding, equity and joint ventures
- Transactions: sale mandates, acquisition profiles, off-market approaches, structured bidding processes
- M&A: company sales, succession, carve-outs, acquisitions including acquisition finance
- Corporate finance: bonds, private equity, capital markets access, strategy advice at company level
Deal sizes
Our focus sits between EUR 10 and 400 million. Below that we only work where the structure is genuinely interesting or an existing client relationship stands behind it. There is no hard ceiling – for district developments and portfolios we run club deals and syndicated structures.
More important than the volume is whether a structure works at all. If it does not, we say so in the first conversation, not after eight weeks.
Market and investors
On the asset side we concentrate on Germany and Switzerland plus selected major European cities. On the capital side the circle is considerably wider – and it depends on deal size.
Up to around EUR 50 million these are mostly family offices, project lenders and debt funds from Germany and Switzerland. Above that, institutional addresses, sovereign funds and investors from MENA, Asia, Northern Europe and the USA come in. Anyone raising above EUR 150 million is effectively speaking to an international market.
How we work
It's a people's business. We do not match through databases or algorithms but through personal contacts built over years. Whoever gets an investor approach from us gets management attention – it is not delegated to staff and not outsourced.
We see ourselves as a speedboat. Between mandate and first qualified feedback there are usually days, not weeks. Discretion is not an add-on but a precondition – particularly with hotels, succession situations and anything touching employees or tenants.
- First financing indication: usually within 48 hours
- Anonymised teaser before any market approach
- No blind mailings: every address is agreed with you beforehand
- Fees transparent upfront, no surprises afterwards
Selected references
Anonymised, because most mandates require exactly that. We are happy to go into more detail in person.
- District development financing > EUR 100 million, mixed senior and mezzanine structure
- Residential transaction Berlin > EUR 20 million, off-market to a family office
- Hotel portfolio with operator change, sold in a structured process
- Mid-market succession including acquisition finance for the buyer
In short
Independent advisory firm, EUR 10 to 400 million, Germany and Switzerland plus European metropolitan areas, an international investor base – and a process run by the partners themselves.
