Capital Corp Merchant Banking Approves $46.2M Office Tower Project in Ghana

The project consists of refinancing an office tower complex located in Accra, Ghana. The owner is a well-established investment and management advisory firm.

ORLANDO, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, May 24, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- With more than three million inhabitants, Accra is among Africa’s largest cities in a region undergoing one of the continent’s fastest rates of urbanization. The office complex in question is well-positioned within the city and is one of many such developments to capitalize on the city’s growing business community. The real estate sector in Accra witnessed its first wave of investment-grade retail, office and hotel assets being developed six to eight years ago. The obvious attraction to the city has been, in comparative Africa terms, its strong ‘ease of doing business’ ranking and the high rates of GDP that the country has recorded.

Key office nodes in Accra include the CBD and the Ridge Area situated in the southern and central areas of the city, while the new decentralized office nodes in the north are located close to the airport in the aptly named Airport City and Airport Residential. Airport City now holds the majority of the city’s Grade A stock and has become the commercial hub and preferred destination for corporate occupiers.

Capital Corp Merchant Banking Approves $18M California Biodiesel Production Project

The facility will produce biodiesel as well as glycerin by-product as it is in high demand for commercial use.

ORLANDO, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, March 7, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- This environmentally-friendly $18 million project brings state-of-the-art production technology with demand for ever cleaner-burning fuels. The facility will be able to process multiple feedstocks of any quality level and turn it into B-100 biodiesel, which is 100% pure biodiesel. A by-product of the biodiesel manufacturing process is glycerol, which, once treated, becomes glycerin that is used widely across numerous industries, including the beauty and cosmetics industry. Converting this by-product will mean less waste production as the facility will be re-using and treating its glycerol by-product toward a meaningful end. Biodiesel is a clean burning biofuel produced from biomass such as seed oils, animal fats, waste vegetable oil, and algal oil. Biodiesel can be used as a fuel for vehicles in its pure form, but is usually used as a diesel additive to reduce levels of particulates, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons from diesel-powered vehicles. Although biofuels account for a very small share in the global energy scenario, they are fast growing to become a prominent alternative energy resource in future. A steady 11% growth rate is predicted by industry experts for the global biofuel consumption through 2020, reaching a total of 58 billion gallons by the end of that year. Currently the US leads global biofuel production with a share of about 42.8%, with Brazil in second place. The method by which this project is to be funded is the brainchild of Mr Gilles Herard.

Capital Corp Merchant Banking Approves $105M Funding Agreement for Florida Aquaculture Project

The state-of-the-art aquaculture project will produce 13 different, high-quality fish species, with no off-flavor contamination from water or feed product.

ORLANDO, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, March 1, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The $105 million project involves the construction and completion of fish tanks and hatchery that would allow up to 13 different types of fish to be produced.  These premium, high-quality fish products (such as tilapia, stripped bass, and red drum) will be farmed in an environmentally-friendly and economically-efficient way. Aquaculture’s contribution to the world’s food basket is essential as global demand for fish grows. Aquaculture is a truly sustainable form of fishery, allowing wild fish stock to remain untouched and thus helping depleted wild fish areas to be replenished in a natural way. Most commercial fish species are severely overfished and supplies cannot meet the demands of the world market.  Aquaculture can provide consistently stable supplies of finish and shellfish into the marketplace to meet this demand. The seafood industry is projected to experience price growth as a result of excess demand. Industry experts forecast US aquaculture industry revenue to increase at an annualized rate of 3.0% to 2018, reaching an estimated $1.4 billion. The method by which this project is to be funded is the brainchild of Mr Gilles Herard. Mr Herard is a seasoned merchant banker and has been in the banking industry for 38 years.

ORLANDO, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, February 8, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The goal of this latest project that Capital Corp Merchant Banking has been privileged to work on is to provide a high-end destination resort on a level that will bring some of the world’s best patrons, with every luxurious amenity provided – with much-desired privacy being the most prized one of all.   What’s more, the recent global recession highlighted the need for Caribbean countries to undertake more vigorous efforts towards diversifying their economies in general, and enhancing their tourism sectors in particular.  One area identified for specific development is yachting and marina services, a sub-sector that is widely regarded as having significant economic potential, according to the UN’s Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC). Rising demand for marina berths in the Caribbean has so far fueled new residential projects, prompting optimism of a return to form for developments in the region.

Capital Corp Merchant Banking Enters Into Funding Agreement In Eco-Friendly Project of Ballast Water

Ballast water from shipping vessels is a primary method of introducing foreign species to different countries throughout the world. Driven by international regulations, the market for ballast water treatment systems is predicted to grow to $34 billion over the course of the decade.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Sept. 24, 2013 - PRLog -- Capital Corp Merchant Banking, a U.S.-based boutique merchant banking group, has been working on this environmentally friendly project with its client and this spring came into a funding agreement to the amount of USD $41 million.  Capital Corp has been increasingly working on eco-friendly projects as demand has grown worldwide for more efficient use of technology, energy, and better stewardship. This patent-pending project makes better, more energy-efficient use of existing ballast water treatment technologies, resulting in a smaller energy footprint of the system and decreasing the ship’s power-capacity needs. Ballast water means water, with its suspended matter, taken onboard a ship to control trim, list, draught, stability, or stresses of the ship.  Ships fill their ballast tanks with water to provide stability and maneuverability during voyages when not carrying cargo, or carrying cargo that is too light, or when stability is needed to deal with rough seas.   Ballast water containers a variety of biological materials that often include non-native, nuisance, and/or exotic species that can (and do) cause extensive ecological and economic damage to aquatic ecosystems. In response to the challenge of treating ballast water for a broad range of ship types and sizes, suppliers of treatment technologies have started to develop and commercialize treatment solutions.  According to Frost & Sullivan, the global ballast water treatment equipment market presents a massive growth potential for system vendors.  The revenue forecast for such systems vendors looks to increase by 34% from 2013-2016 and by 64% from 2017-2020.

New $30 Million Funding Agreement Could Result In New Stroke Medicine

Capital Corp Merchant Banker has entered into a $30 million funding agreement to fund production and commercialization of a novel biosimilar drug for stroke victims.  This new drug would be a variant of an already existing drug but with much improved diagnosis results. Ischemic strokes account for 80-85% of strokes and the only effective treatment currently available has life-threatening side effects, which have severely limited its use.  This new drug would predict the risk of these side effects on an individual basis.

Orlando, FL (PRWEB), January 24, 2012: Capital Corp Merchant Banking has entered into a $30 million funding agreement with a major German Biopharmaceutical Group (“the Client”) to fund the production process, clinical trials, and full commercialization of a stroke therapeutic.  This would be done through a combination of debt and equity.

A stroke happens when blood flow to a part of the brain stops.  A stroke is sometimes called a “brain attack.”  Ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel that supplies blood to the brain is blocked by a blood clot.   This may happen in two ways: 1) a clot may for in an artery that is already very narrow, which is called a thrombotic stroke; and 2) a clot may break off from another place in the blood vessel of the brain or body and travel up to the brain, which is called cerebral embolism, or embolic stroke.  Ischemic strokes may be caused by clogged arteries.

Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States, and approximately 795,000 people suffer a stroke each year, 140,000 of which result in death.  Europe averages approximately 650,000 stroke deaths each year.

There are only a few hundred stroke neurology specialists practicing in Europe and the United States, and the number of stroke centers in both the U.S. and Europe number slightly above 1,600 combined.  Stroke centers are presently certified to treat ischemic stroke.

The Client’s theranostic offers the ability to rapidly take control of a €240 M market in the EU and expand it to €400-500M, and would similarly offer the same results in the U.S. market.
