About this template
The Tower template is a senior letter with a single tall vertical block in dark slate running down the left margin, name centred in Trajan, Lyon Text body. The vertical anchor evokes a corporate skyscraper and signals scale rather than craft. Compatible with the ATS systems of large conglomerates and infrastructure funds (Workday at Brookfield Asset Management, Macquarie Infrastructure, GIP, Stonepeak, Vinci, Bouygues Construction, Skanska, Hochtief).
Who is it for?
It suits senior executives applying to commercial REITs (Brookfield Properties, Unibail-Rodamco, Hammerson, Land Securities), infrastructure-fund GPs (Macquarie, GIP, Brookfield, Stonepeak, Ardian Infra), large engineering-construction conglomerates (Vinci, Bouygues, Eiffage, Skanska, Strabag, Hochtief) and corporate-banking divisions of global banks. Senior originators, corporate-banking managing directors, real-estate-fund principals and infrastructure-fund partners. Out of place in boutique consulting or craft-led sectors.
How to use it
The vertical slate block must stay anchored 15 mm from the left edge, never crossing the text block — its verticality, not its proximity to the body, carries the register. The hook enters the subject by reference to scale: "Following your [size] transaction in [sector]". Paragraph 2 cites your deals in enterprise value or portfolio size ("USD 8B in brownfield-infrastructure AuM, 12 transactions closed over 6 years"). Paragraph 3 articulates future contribution against a target sector.
Frequently asked questions
Is it suitable for brownfield or greenfield infrastructure funds?
Yes for both. For brownfield (Macquarie Asset Management, GIP, Stonepeak), emphasise closed transactions and yields delivered. For greenfield (Meridiam, Brookfield Renewables, Antin Infrastructure), cite built projects, EPC track record and public-private partnerships.
Should I cite NDA-bound deals?
Describe the deal by technical scope without naming the target: "Acquisition of an Iberian motorway operator, EV EUR 1.8B, closed Q3 2023". Infrastructure-fund committees recognise deals by their technical characteristics.
Is the letter suitable for a construction conglomerate?
Yes for Vinci, Bouygues, Eiffage, Strabag, Skanska, Hochtief, Lendlease — which appreciate the Tower register in senior correspondence. Mention your PPP (public-private partnership) experience, order-book volumes managed and geographic exposure (overseas territories, Africa, Southeast Asia).
