CONSUMER GOODS, RETAIL AND HOSPITALITY

 

PFA has provided financial analysis over the range of projects in the consumer goods, retail and hospitality sectors.


With Carrefour as key anchor tenant, PFA provided multi-disciplinary support to a new retail center located outside Amman Jordani. Having a committed long term loan of $41 million from the DFC, PFA has worked closely with the The Moon Land and its affiliates in the construction and leasing of a multi-purpose community center in Zarqa City, Jordan – the Souq Bab Al Madina Mall -- as part of the King Abdullah Bin Aziz City (“KABAC”) development project.  Zarqa is the third largest city and heavily congested with large numbers of Syrian and Palestinian refugee populations in need of quality amenities. KABAC is a special initiative of the Government of Jordan to address the need for affordable housing and provide Jordan with its first comprehensively planned urban area that will reduce population density in Zarqa; increase overall quality of life for its residents; and create jobs. KABAC is expected to provide access to essential services including schools, parks, mosques and hospitals.

PFA undertook a credit diligence and market assessment on behalf of Populi, the only branded multi-format integrated grocer chain in the Republic of Georgia with over forty one stores of varying size formats. Financial diligence in support of a $21 million loan was provided and OPIC committed the loan in September 2011 to generally support Populi's expansion of stores throughout Georgia.

In Georgia, PFA provided business case analysis and placement services for a range of well know brands including McDonald’s, Pepsi, Hyatt hotels, Radisson Blu and the aforementioned Populi supermarket chain.
