CREFC Europe has said it will accept property developers and investors without a lending arm into its membership.
The trade association has a membership of about 100 commercial real estate lenders and debt investors, including CBRE, BlackRock and Aviva Investors Real Estate Finance.
It said it sought to expand itself in order to increase contact between lenders and direct investors.
Peter Cosmetatos, chief executive of CREFC Europe, said: “We’ve become increasingly aware that while there are many industry bodies and events primarily for direct investors and others on the equity side, there are very few where the lending side is in the majority.
“We suspect a number of chief financial officers would find it interesting and useful to immerse themselves among the lenders once in a while, so we want to encourage them to connect with us.”
