Brisbane, Australia – Cedar Pacific Investment Management, in partnership with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC), has successfully completed a $190 million Green Loan and Social Loan facility for the Build-to-Rent development at 50 Quay Street, Brisbane.
This transaction marks a significant milestone as the first Social Loan executed by Cedar Pacific, further strengthening the longstanding collaboration in the living sector with SMBC.
