Infrastructure Finance

You have ambitious plans. You want to build a solar park or a wind farm? Or invest in infrastructure projects such as the expansion of fiber-optic networks or power transmission lines? Perhaps you are involved in a PPP project, joining forces with the public sector to modernize schools or hospitals?

When your project is complex, we provide adequate solutions: capital-intensive infrastructure investments are realized by LBBW through structured project finance. In these transactions, LBBW shares the risk. Repayment of the invested capital plus interest is primarily sourced from the future cash flow. Lenders therefore need be convinced of the project’s long-term success. To ensure this, LBBW conducts extensive risk analyses. Contracts are also carefully structured so that project risks are appropriately allocated among all parties involved.

More than just a lender

Together with you, our expert teams in Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Leipzig, London and New York structure and arrange your infrastructure financing. Our specialists understand the unique challenges involved in developing large-scale projects.

This often requires designing comprehensive financing packages that address financing timelines and risk considerations while also integrating interest-rate hedging, cash management solutions, public funding programs and the involvement of banking partners. For this reason, we regularly collaborate with colleagues from other departments when structuring project finance transactions.

Syndication

With LBBW, you receive your financing from a single source. Through our established syndication platform, we assemble a consortium of financing partners while remaining your lead arranger and central point of contact for all matters relating to your financing.

A holistic perspective

Real asset financing extends beyond infrastructure alone. Corporate clients and financial institutions also benefit from our many years of expertise in commercial real estate financing.
