4. TGLT Company Profile: Opportunity
There is a highly attractive opportunity to lead the transformation of the residential
development market of Argentina:
– Argentina has demonstrated resiliency to overcome its worst crisis ever. The
economy has been growing at high rates for the last 4 years with the real estate
sector in the frontline of this recovery.
– With barely any mortgages available to finance acquisition of property, less than 3%
of the market h
f h k has access to new h homes. ThThrough the appearance of mortgages
h h f
demand for new homes will increase significantly.
– Argentina is set to follow the path that Brazil and Mexico’s real estate markets
followed less than a decade ago.
– There are few development companies in Argentina that are prepared to lead this
process with access to capital markets and institutional investors.

p
shareholders or debt. Whatever portion TGLT is unable or unwilling to fund, it will
use co-investments from PDG Realty or any other partner for development
projects and land banking.

Consumer Behavior:
– Argentina has a young, urban population which, despite its preference for home
ownership over rentals, has been unable to buy homes over the last decade,
leaving a significant pent-up demand which should be reverted as household

– Argentines have a high propensity to save in real estate. People invest in real
estate as a value preservation tool (mainly for their own residencies) or for rental
income (buying properties for rent)

property is regarded as a low risk investment.
