Houlihan Lokey Advises Patron Capital
Patron Capital has secured an acquisition and capex facility from AllianceBernstein
Financing Advisor
Houlihan Lokey is pleased to announce that it has structured a €75 million acquisition and capex financing for a seven-asset light industrial and logistics seed portfolio of an aggregation platform, on behalf of Patron Capital. Houlihan Lokey served as the exclusive financial advisor to Patron Capital. The transaction closed on 8 May 2026.
The “URBN Hub” portfolio, held in a joint venture with INBRIGHT as asset manager, represents a strategic aggregation of light industrial and logistics assets in Germany. To support this ongoing portfolio investment, a key element of Houlihan Lokey’s mandate involved defining the right strategic angle for this specific asset class and conducting a comprehensive scan of the lender universe. Our objective was to identify a financing partner capable of supporting the sponsor’s business plan with structural flexibility and an efficient cost of capital.
Following this process, a partnership was established with AllianceBernstein. Together, Patron Capital and AllianceBernstein structured a facility that includes the refinancing of properties already acquired, a dedicated capex line for ongoing asset refurbishments, and an accordion feature to fund future portfolio growth. The structure provides Patron Capital with the necessary capital and flexibility to execute the next phases of the portfolio’s expansion, while establishing AllianceBernstein as a long-term financing partner supporting the platform’s growth.
This transaction highlights the ability of Houlihan Lokey’s Capital Solutions team to navigate a wide lender universe in a challenging market, successfully bringing together key industry players to structure tailored, flexible facilities for complex real estate strategies.
