To ensure that these optimal, index-linked returns are achievable, our seasoned experts in building, transportation, and other infrastructure assets assess and analyze the responsibilities, risks, and mitigants with regard to commercial, environmental, and technical issues.

 

Prior to a transaction, whether a greenfield investment, asset acquisition, or a divestment, we work with our clients to understand their or their target investor’s goals and risk appetite.  After devising a due diligence plan, our advisors reach throughout the organization to supply the appropriate experts in design and construction, operations and maintenance, asset management, capital improvements, and technology.

 

Our integrated advisory team uses a holistic approach to identify commercial and technical risks while relying on our specialists’ experience in the relevant infrastructure sectors. We provide a number of services to optimize our clients’ investments or bidding approach, including:

 

• Process and strategy recommendations

• Market assessments

• Cost benchmarking or forecasting

• Asset condition surveys

• Environmental reviews

• Design audits for new developments

• Due diligence reviews

• Other professional services

 

After the transaction has closed, we also have the capability to manage or operate infrastructure assets or portfolios for investor clients.

 

Nobis can support lenders, debt funds, or bond investors providing debt to private finance transactions for transport and social infrastructure (hospitals, schools and courts), offering targeted advice that focuses on the key issues that could impact their loan or investment.

 

A new picture is emerging since the financial crisis, one of a more competitive and larger than ever investment boom  in property. Driven by a surge in demand as the world’s fast growing population is moving closer to the bright lights and the availability of global finance to invest in our cities, opportunities for growth are more present than ever. We are seeing increasing levels of foreign direct investment in property from sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, and Asian developers, and our knowledge and understanding of property markets around the world make Nobis the ideal partner to support these transactions.
