Deep dives
Property Investment SPV Structure
When considering whether to add new properties to separate SPVs or within an existing SPV, the key decision revolves around risk and control. By isolating each property within its own company, investors can minimize risk in case of claims or liabilities, ensuring each property stands independently. This approach allows for risk reduction in scenarios such as claims from developers, tenants, or lenders. However, the majority of investors tend to consolidate properties within a single company due to the cost and administrative burden associated with managing multiple SPVs.
