Aviva Investors has provided a £227 million sustainability-linked refinancing to London-based property group Romulus, on behalf of Aviva UK Life's annuity business. The deal means the Real Estate Debt team at Aviva Investors has also surpassed its commitment to originate £1 billion in sustainable transition real estate debt by 2025 – one of five interim goals outlined in the Net Zero Pathway of its Real Assets business – three years ahead of schedule and just 18 months after launch. The ten-year, fixed-rate loan is secured against a number of assets owned by Romulus in the office, hotel, leisure and retail sectors and which are located across central London. The full value of the loan will be subject to sustainability-linked KPIs, with more favourable borrowing rates available upon Romulus achieving measurable environmental improvements in the assets being lent against.
