Alternative contruction technologies

At GPA we have designed innovative housing units using alternative technologies that can be delivered quickly and at a low cost. The units are complete with solar power and efficient plumbing. The units are also available in a “kit” form which is easy to transport. The assembly requires minimal training and a low skill base. The building fabric has a low carbon footprint and can be adapted to a range of sizes and site conditions.

INNOVATIVE FINANCIAL STRUCTURES from $2 to $35M

We have developed a unique methodology to combine the true potential value of not only the land and buildings but the future revenue, business evolution and compounded these to net present day value.

These techniques are new to East Africa but have been tested and proven in USA and Europe over the many decades and have become an attractive investment asset class. The same funds which have been active in Europe are now bringing these funding methods to Africa and Kenya is a favourite.

In a recent example, our client had a real estate asset valutation of $12 million on their commercial property and they were looking at re-mortgaging the asset to raise 90% geared debt finance at 18% APR. We carried out the analysis and appraisal and found that the total asset value could be evolved through these structured funding instruments to achieve a capital raise of $35 million – gearing at 300% of the Net Asset Value and at a cost of around half the cost of debt.
