Such groundbreaking projects succeed from the interaction of expertise, a shared understanding of the ideal solution and entrepreneurial foresight,” said Peter Axmann, Head of Real Estate Clients at Hamburg Commercial Bank. “These are the qualities that our long-standing client J. P. Morgan Asset Management brings to the table. “
“Hamburg Commercial Bank has been with us since the purchase of this building about five years ago and we look forward to continuing the cooperation as the project develops. Thanks to the many years of experience and extensive expertise of HCOB, which structured the financing and also syndicated it as Mandated Lead Arranger, we were able to conclude the financing reliably even in this challenging year,” said Michael Ramm, Managing Director at J.
