Residencial Los Andes
By: Nicolas P. Retsinas and Lisa Strope
Abstract
Peninsula Investment Group is deciding whether or not to recapitalize an equity investment in a Residencial Los Andes, a residential project in Santiago, Chile, or take a substantial loss. The project did not meet its sales goals and the bank pressured the investors to liquidate the construction loan. Early on, Peninsula had identified Chile as a target market; however, in investing in Residencial Los Andes, it had made several exceptions to its investment strategy. The case addresses what went wrong in the evolution of the project, what measures would need to be taken if Peninsula did increase its capital commitment.
