Cinco de Mayo

by Arthur I Segel, Nicolas P. Retsinas, David Margain and Andres Caldera Radonski

Abstract

In 2004, Adrian Pandal is seeking financing for a residential conversion of a building in Mexico City's historic center district. He must convince potential lenders that the project is viable and that it makes sense to bet on the future potential of an area that, until recently, has not attracted substantial real estate investment.
