Financial Architecture
ICE3 have developed the concept of Financial Architecture. Essentially, this is the concept that your finance broker is an integral part of your project and should not only be integrated into the overall project but should also understand each element of your project and how it fits together and interacts and responds to changes in the financial structure of the project. The old school approach to broking is to simply introduce a project to a funder and that's the job done.
At ICE3 we ensure we understand all elements of the project. We understand planning, architecture, development and legals. Not to the extent of each individual consultant but to a level that allows us to ensure we develop a financial strategy that enhances and enables the other elements of the project and ultimately and most importantly the project as a whole.
As in traditional architecture, we ensure that the strategy, structure and implementation of our solutions provide solid foundations and a successful project.
We remain involved in our clients' projects from day one, right through to delivery and often beyond. When required, we act as a financial project manager for our clients, liaising with the other members of the team, particularly the legals to ensure a smooth transaction.
ICE3's Financial Architecture approach to our business, as well as yours, ensures you get much more than just a broker.
The Capital Stack
The term "capital stack" is comprised of the total capital invested in a project. In commercial real estate, these "stacks" typically include: common equity, preferred equity, mezzanine debt and senior debt. Understanding the capital stack structure is a key component in our financial architecture.
