Specific Investment Review
Selected Opportunities
(ordered by Fund and by investment size within each Fund)
Opportunity
• Grainger, a listed residential property company, changed its focus to developing PRS units
and decided to sell its non-core Retirement Solutions (RS) business. The business
comprises a portfolio of over 3,800 ‘Home Reversion’ equity release assets.
• On 31st December 2015, Patron exchanged contracts with Grainger to acquire the RS
Business.
• Completion took place in May 2016 post regulatory approval – renamed Retirement
Bridge Group.
• June 2017 – acquired Sovereign Reversions (c. 700 assets)
Home Reversion

equity in his home in exchange for a discounted appraisal value of the equity and a right to
live in the property until it is vacated upon the occupant’s death or move into long term
care.

reversions were regulated by the FCA since 2007.
Portfolio (as at May 2015 cut-off date)

England.

substantial portfolio of Punch’s assets to Heineken.

Heineken. Patron retained ownership of 1,375 pubs and the head
office operations, of which 1,323 are held in a securitisation
structure and 52 pubs and the head office operations held at
TopCo.

quality of the portfolio

model

EastPoint, Ireland – sold (Fund V)• Acquisition of 4 multi-let office buildings with gross internal area of c.153,000 sq.
ft. on EastPoint Business Park in Dublin, Ireland.
• EastPoint is c.40 acres in size, with approx. 1.5 million square feet of primarily office
space (grade B) across 35 buildings. EastPoint has been developed in phases since
the site was originally acquired and developed by Earlsfort Developments in the
1990s. The park is located adjacent to Dublin Docklands (where a lot of central
Dublin office development is taking place, including the new Central Bank HQ), and
in close proximity to the traditional core CBD area. The park has attracted a
concentration of TMT tenants.
• The assets were acquired in joint-venture with O’Callaghan Properties (“OCP”) and
Earlsfort Developments (“Earlsfort”). OCP are Fund IV’s existing JV partner on
Project Drive, including acting as asset manager on Northside Shopping Centre,
where there is a strong working relationship. Earlsfort originally developed
EastPoint and are the existing part-owner and asset manager for several units on the
Park, demonstrating their good knowledge of the Assets / local market. Both OCP
and Earlsfort are investing alongside Patron.

larger €23bn transaction from GE in 2015.
• Strategy comprises lease up of vacant space and sale over a 3-4
year investment period, with some capex across portfolio as
appropriate.
• Business plan undertaken by Patron team working with key local
brokers with extensive experience in each region, as well as
Aguirre Newman, CBRE and Vicente Conesa (Patron’s long
term advisor and local partner in the Fund III Poblenou
investment).

Project Green, Spain (Fund V)
GSPP – Cologne, Germany – sold (Fund V)
• Acquisition of a 14,372 sqm office building on theborder of Cologne’s city centre, with significant andunique redevelopment potential in an economicallystrong and affluent city with a good micro location andexcellent connections to public transport.

• JV partner is Development Partner AG, an experiencedoffice and retail developer and investor with a strongtrack record.
• Strategy to reposition the asset as a good building and acheaper alternative within the premium segment whichis undersupplied in the local market, supported by anextensive capex program and lease up of the asset.
• Sold in July 2019 to AEW
16
• In late 2009 strategy initiated to take advantage of:
➢ imbalance between demand for high quality accommodation, care and
services and current old/poor supply
➢ impact of an ageing population
➢ current market conditions – led to overleveraged larger players or smaller
poorly capitalised operators unable to take advantage of new
• Strategy to build platform of at least 15-20 care homes within approximately 4
regional clusters in the UK
• Achieved through acquisition of land and subsequent development and
acquisition of existing operational premium care homes
• Management team established at Opco level to manage homes and program
• As of August 2014 - across both funds
➢ 10 sites operating and 1 under development – “core”
➢ 10 sites acquired or exchanged subject to planning for construction over the
next 18 months – “pipeline”

additional opportunities

17
UK Care Home Program (Fund V / IV / III)
CALA Homes - sold (Fund IV)• Acquisition in March 2013 of CALA Homes, a leading UK premium volume house builder
from Lloyds Banking Group (“LBG”) as part of bank’s non-core asset disposal strategy and
subsequent add-on acquisition in March 2014 of Banner Homes
• CALA is a national house builder with a 15,846 plot land bank equivalent to c.6.8 years of
production. CALA achieves the highest average selling price (“ASP”) among the UK
volume house builders, £509k vs. average of £233k
• CALA focuses on 3+ bedroom, single family homes in affluent districts of the UK, with
customers who are generally equity rich, with average LTVs of 65%
• For strategic as well as capital diversification reasons, Patron brought Legal & General
(“L&G”) and Electra Partners into the investment with Patron at 37%, L&G holding
47.5%, Electra 10.5%, management 5% - from a governance perspective Patron retains
operational control, with both Patron and L&G having board seats and Electra having a
passive role subject to material matters above a 10% of EV threshold
• Management team includes 21 professionals led by Alan Brown, CEO and Graham Reid,
CFO, who successfully turned around the CALA after the downturn and the LBG debt for
equity swap
• Business plan is predicated on the build out of the land bank acquired during the downturn
at attractive terms and the build out of “legacy” sites acquired pre-recession improving
gross margin from 16% at the time of acquisition to 21%. Profits generated from
developments are sufficient to replenish the land bank and position the business for exit
• In March 2014 CALA acquired Banner Homes, a leading premium house builder operating
in the South East and Midlands with a land bank of 2,360 plots and turnover of c.£140
million
➢ Banner greatly increased CALA’s exposure to more affluent areas in the South East of
England and the increased scale will improve the combined business margins through
operational leverage
• March 2018 – sale of Patron interest to Legal & General

performance

broker relationships

Mercury - sold (Fund IV)
• Acquisition of the Clarion Hotel in Dublin, Ireland. The Hotel had been in administration
for nearly 3 years and was underinvested with a poorly motivated management team and a
poorly performing brand. The Hotel was financed by a loan owned by the National Asset
Management Agency (“NAMA”), the Irish-state-owned ‘bad bank’, who was the ultimate
seller.
• Hotel is a modern (opened in 2001) purpose-built 165-room (consisting of 15 suites /
family rooms and 150 standard rooms) 4-star hotel fronting the River Liffey in the
International Financial Services Centre (“IFSC”) in Dublin. The Hotel benefits from 10
conference rooms (catering for between 10 and 150 delegates), a leisure club (including an
18m heated swimming pool; the leisure club has c.1000 members), two dining options and
a bar.
• The Hotel is held on a long lease (184 years remaining) from the Dublin Docks Authority.
The Hotel was previously managed by Choice Hotels Ireland and traded under the Clarion
brand. The Hotel benefits from a strong location in the IFSC (a successful financial
services hub).
• The operating partner in the transaction is Fitzpatrick Lifestyle Hotels (“Fitzpatrick”), an
experienced local owner and manager of mid-market hotels. Hotel is being run on an
independent basis, managed by Fitzpatrick, and rebranded as part of the Fitzpatrick
collection as The Spencer (as announced and launched in March 2014).
• A key part of the business plan was the investment within the first six months of
ownership to refresh the guest rooms, update the health club and the public areas,
including full relaunch of the food & beverage outlets – completed and full launch took
place in July 2014
