Starwood European Real Estate Finance Limited: Investment Update 
 
  Starwood European Real Estate Finance Limited (the "Company" and, together 
       with its subsidiaries, the "Group") is pleased to announce that on 12 
      November 2018 the Group closed a EUR19.5 million fixed rate whole loan 
  secured by a mixed-use office and hotel property located in Madrid, Spain. 
 The financing has been primarily provided in the form of an initial advance 
               along with a smaller capex facility to support the borrower's 
 value-enhancing, light capex initiatives. The loan term is 5 years, and the 
   Group expects to earn an attractive risk-adjusted return in line with its 
                                                 stated investment strategy. 
 
 The Group has now invested in five Spanish loans with a total commitment of 
       approximately EUR182 million, and alongside the UK and Ireland, Spain 
        remains one of the Group's top target markets for further investment 
                                                              opportunities. 
 
  Following the investment, the Group has approximately GBP52 million drawings 
                                       on its credit facilities net of cash.
