Construction Loans

If commercial real estate was limited to business owners purchasing existing properties to expand their companies, we would not experience the diversity that makes our economy thrive. Commercial construction loans help business owners and investors fund their visions rather than fit into an existing mold that might not help them reach their goals.

What Is a Commercial Construction Loan?

Commercial construction projects need a reliable cash source to run smoothly and avoid delays. Multiple commercial construction loan programs are available that provide cash flow to business owners and investors so they can complete their projects successfully and on time.

A commercial construction loan helps borrowers accomplish the following objectives:

• Building new structures
• Expanding upon existing structures
• Rehabilitating properties in disrepair
• Repositioning properties to better align with the company’s business plan

Commercial Construction Loans: A Short-Term Financing Option

Commercial construction loans provide funding for a real estate development’s construction and lease-up phases. Due to this limited time frame, commercial construction loans are considered a short-term financing option. After the development meets minimum occupancy requirements, a long-term financing plan takes over. Some commercial construction loans combine both types of financing for the borrower’s convenience.
