ITEM FITCH // BRIC CONSULTING // VANGUARD STUDENT HOUSING

 

THE UNION OF 3 LARGE COMPANIES FROM THE REAL ESTATE SECTOR
Our origins…

We offer a 360º solution for those companies looking for a better return and control of their investments.

ITEM FITCH

Item Fitch offers a wide range of professional services related to real estate.

Consulting
Experts in the residential, office, commercial and industrial segment.
It combines commercial and strategic experience as a result of the long history of its team of real estate professionals. Using their market and financial knowledge, ItemFitch is able to offer practical and creative advice which aims to maximise asset value and develop the real estate activity in the best conditions.

Promoter
Promoters since 2000. We have the equipment and technology to develop and promote anywhere in Spain. Experts in feasibility analysis, with an emphasis on our market studies and control of construction costs. We work under two models: own and delegated promotion.

BRIC CONSULTING

One of the founding partners of 3 Capital is a leading Spanish hotel consultancy firm and the only one not to have been franchised by an international group. It therefore represents one of the strongest specialisations of our firm. We advise on all types of transactions, whether they involve intermediation, operator selection or the structuring of more complex businesses.

We have a dynamic and multidisciplinary team, with extensive knowledge of the sector and oriented to achieving the best results, with a proactive attitude and methodology. We offer a personalised approach, with dedication, involvement and commitment to the client through direct and fluid dialogue with the main actors in the sector.

Barcelona Student Housing

Vanguard Student Housing is the leading company in Barcelona in the segment of room rentals for students in residential buildings. With over 15 years of experience it manages 400 student beds, which are distributed over 4 buildings and several individual apartments.

Vanguard Student Housing carries out the integral management of these residential assets, offering the property higher yields than those normally found in the LAU market. This model offers great flexibility by not conditioning the performance of the building to 7-year contracts with different maturities.

We offer investors the search for assets, their rehabilitation / adaptation to the model of student flats, and their subsequent commercialisation to this market segment.

OUR FIGURES

We are proud of what we represent to our customers. Here are some of our numbers:

CONSULTANT

We are involved in all the strategic processes linked to the real estate sector so that we can give the best advice to our clients. We seek and propose solutions to highly complex situations, providing value in each case to achieve the client’s desired objective.

BUSINESS AREA
Due to the proximity to the non-real estate company, we would like to be the real estate arm that helps you make the best decisions in an area which you may not be familiar with.
We have a close relationship with the best architectural firms that allow us to provide the best support in any operations linked to changes of location or similar that arise in the company.
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

To do so, we focus on:
– Analysing the assets in-depth
– Proposing a Business Plan that contemplates the different alternatives which allow profit maximisation.

INVESTMENT FUNDS

We would like to be the local partner of those investment funds with interests in Spain.

To do this, we focus on:
– Assessing the opportunities of interest.
– Studying both the supply and demand of the market.
– Preparing the appropriate Business Plan for each asset with special attention to the execution schedules.

– Advising during the entire negotiation and closing process.

URBANISM

The complexity of many of the urban development issues leads us to analyse these projects from all possible angles, knowing the difficulty that this type of project has in terms of schedule management.

Property management
In many cases the management of the timeshare in these projects is key to their success which is why we accompany our clients in all management issues related to aligning the interests of all the owners so that planning flows in the best possible way.

Urban planning
We analyse the real situation of the asset and program the necessary steps to achieve each of the urban milestones in accordance with current legislation and the procedures set by the Administration.

Master plan
We study the different options regarding the real estate development of a plot of land, raising different scenarios of visibility, its consequences and implications, schedules and scenarios of cost / investment and final profitability.

CORPORATE FINANCE AND DEBT ADVISORY

We provide advice on the whole decision-making process related to real estate transactions, and in particular on the development of financing structures for real estate projects, the search for investment partners, mezzanine-type debt transactions, joint ventures or participatory loans.

We also advise on the purchase and sale of performing and non-performing debt.

HOTELS

Commercial Services

Operator selection and asset marketing for independent owners:

Our team is in permanent contact with the main operators and investors in the sector, both Spanish and foreign, as well as consolidated and newly created hotel groups, having knowledge of their management and investment needs. No two assets are the same and no two hotel chains are identical.

For this reason, we analyse each property independently and resolutely manage the search for the manager whose characteristics, solvency, operational know-how and positioning best suit the circumstances, accompanying and defending the interests of the owner throughout the process until the signing is achieved.

 

Support for the expansion of new or consolidated hotel chains

In a highly competitive market like the present one, it is when more experience, information, means, and imagination are needed. Starting from the principle that the opportunities that come to market are neither sufficient nor necessarily the best, 3 CAPITAL provides the real differentiating factor by applying a proactive attitude and methodology for identifying business opportunities.

Our team has accumulated extensive experience, having successfully developed specific expansion programmes for different hotel chains.

In line with the established strategic and time objectives, 3 CAPITAL will identify the best business opportunities for the client, especially those that are not yet being commercialised, which will allow the client to maximise the competitive advantage through anticipation. This will increase the possibilities of choosing what we want and not what is available.

Searching for and attracting capital:

The analysis and search for leverage and ad hoc financing for each project is a fundamental element for visualising and maximising the return of any investment in the hotel sector.

Our team is in contact with the main players in the capital market, thus providing the necessary market knowledge for the correct achievement of the set objectives:

– Private investors and private equity

– Family offices

– Investment funds

– Banking entities

– Seed capital

Marketing and outsourcing of complementary spaces associated with hotels.

Our work is focused on the outsourcing of all those business units associated with hotels that can be independent and managed by a third party. In each case we select the most suitable candidate and specialist, all with the aim of providing a better quality of service for the client and greater real estate profitability for the hotelier or owner.

– Restaurants

– Bars

– SPA areas

– Gym…

It takes on the role of Project Manager by seeking to optimise construction costs through the maximum packaging of construction items and avoiding a “turnkey”. It is in charge of following the economic and financial plan of the project and periodically reports to the investor. Finally, it is in charge of marketing, ensuring the optimal sales rate as well as price indexing if the market evolution allows it.

OWN PROMOTION

Projects in which we structure and capitalise the investment vehicle ourselves.

DELEGATED PROMOTION

Projects in which we act as Project Managers guaranteeing the best control and monitoring of the business plan and the execution of construction work and marketing.
