Opco/Propcos - structurally unsound?

Hyams, Jamie

Opco/Propcos - structurally unsound? - 2012 - Hogan Lovells Real Estate Quarterly Summer 2012, 14-17(4) .

Looks at the once popular Opco/Propco method as an alternative way for companies with good real estate portfolios to leverage their assets to raise finance: transferring the property ownership to one group company (Propco) and retain the operating business in another (Opco). Investigates whether the current lending crisis has terminally undermined the Opco/Propco structure and concludes that these structures are unlikely to regain their popularity in the near future.
