Real Estate Investment Banking

Omega Risk Management’s investment banking practice focuses on insurance and risk management in real estate lending activities for large construction projects, permanent financing and securitized transactions. As advisor to investment bankers, Omega consultants evaluate the risk associated with a project or property. We formulate the lender’s insurance specifications required for its borrowers, contractors and design professionals. We evaluate the borrower’s insurance plans and negotiate coverage enhancements for the lender. We evaluate the use of bonding and its popular substitute, the Subguard insurance product, and determine which will best meet the lender’s interests. To help facilitate timely loan closings, we draft insurance terms for the mortgage agreement and assemble a comprehensive report that documents the insurance coverage provided by the owners, contractors, and design professionals. Throughout the pre-closing process, we counsel the lender, the lender’s attorneys and the borrower to protect the lender’s assets. Omega Risk Management also provides its banking clients with consulting services for the insurance and risk management issues that arise during a work out or foreclosure.  We evaluate the insurance needs of the project in light of the complex issues that arise during the process, and assist our clients in making sure that the appropriate coverage is in place.  We also assist with the particularly complex issues that arise when a construction project is in default, including an evaluation of the specific insurance programs that often are used with large construction projects.  In addition many of our clients now have to handle issues regarding construction claims and construction defects.  At Omega, we provide them with professional guidance in the best way to handle these complicated claim areas. Omega Risk Management addresses these insurance and risk management areas:

  • Property & Casualty Insurance
  • Business Income Insurance
  • Terrorism Insurance
  • Builders Risk & Construction
