Check out a few recent case studies that Fortress Capital has had the privilege to help make happen.
Kairua, Christchurch
Facilitating Commercial/Industrial Construction Financing
Nestled in the heart of the thriving Hornby South industrial and commercial precinct, the Kairua development on Wilmers Road stands as a testament to strategic positioning, offering seamless connectivity to vital transportation hubs such as Christchurch CBD, Christchurch International Airport, Lyttleton Port, and the primary north and south transit routes.
​
Fortress, in partnership with our affiliate, Wolfbrook Commercial, embarked on a mission to empower two of our valued clients to acquire prime lots within the Kairua development. Our collaborative effort extended beyond mere acquisitions; it encompassed the design and construction of bespoke facilities tailored precisely to our clients' evolving business needs.
​
In pursuit of this endeavor, Fortress stepped in to provide capitalised interest funding, a crucial resource that played a pivotal role in facilitating our clients' effective management of their debt obligations during the initial phases. This innovative approach not only alleviated financial strain but also strategically positioned our clients to enhance their financial standing, ultimately smoothing the path for a seamless transition to bank refinancing.
​
The outcome has exceeded expectations. Our clients now enjoy the fruits of purpose-built premises perfectly aligned with their operational requirements, leading to a notable surge in property value. This collaborative success story underscores Fortress's commitment to empowering our clients to achieve their growth and expansion aspirations through intelligent financial solutions.
