Companies in all sectors are currently facing a wide range of challenges – digital transformation, EU taxonomy requirements on the way toCO2 neutrality and succession considerations are the focus. All of this requires liquidity and flexibility, including in dealing with business real estate. The LOANCOS Group supports companies with a flexible solution, the “parking model for corporate real estate”, in order to create financial leeway without losing access to the real estate. By “parking” the properties for a limited period, short-term liquidity can be created and the opportunity to participate in longer-term value appreciation can be maintained.
In one specific case, a company “parks” a production site in an individual external structure and leases it back under a long-term usage agreement. The sale generates immediate liquidity with unchanged continued use of the property. At the end of an agreed minimum term, the company can decide what to do with the property. This creates short-term financial leeway and, at the same time, long-term potential for maintaining the possible increase in value of the location.
One advantage of this “parking solution” is that the company retains unrestricted access to the property. Furthermore, it benefits over time from a possible increase in value at certain option dates due to the special individual structure of the “parking solution”.

As a neutral advisor, the LOANCOS Group helps companies to find the best structure for “parking” their real estate. “We support companies in finding the right financing partner and negotiating the best possible conditions for all parties involved,” says Markus Dieterle, Director Real Estate / Leasing at the LOANCOS Group. “We draw on a network of experienced partners so that we can work out an optimal solution for every initial situation.”
