Securing financing for large-scale construction projects often presents complex challenges. Recently, we closed a significant $18,250,000 ground-up construction loan for a 60-unit multifamily development. This achievement highlights our dedication to supporting builders, developers, and real estate investors through tailored financial solutions and strong partnerships.

Overview of the Multifamily Project


The project involves constructing a 60-unit multifamily residential complex designed to meet growing housing demands. This development will offer modern living spaces with amenities that appeal to a diverse range of tenants. The construction loan covers all phases from ground-up building to completion, ensuring the project stays on schedule and within budget.


This type of project requires significant capital and precise execution. The loan amount of $18,250,000 reflects the scale and complexity involved in delivering a high-quality multifamily community.


Challenges Faced During Financing


Several obstacles emerged during the loan process that required careful navigation:


  • Liquidity Issues: The client faced limited cash flow availability, which could have delayed closing.

  • Speed to Close: The project timeline demanded a quick loan closing to avoid construction delays.

  • Matured Land Loan: The land loan had matured, adding pressure to secure new financing promptly.


Each of these challenges could have stalled the project or increased costs, but our team worked closely with the client to find effective solutions.



Solutions Provided to Overcome Obstacles


To address the challenges, we structured the loan with specific features that ensured timely funding and financial stability:


  • High Loan-to-Cost Ratio (85% LTC): Offering a high percentage of the project cost allowed the client to conserve liquidity and allocate funds efficiently.

  • Cross-Collateralization for Liquidity: We accepted additional collateral from other assets to strengthen the loan package and provide the client with necessary liquidity.

  • Land Lift Acceptance: Recognizing the value added by the land development, we incorporated land lift into the loan terms, which helped manage the matured land loan situation.


These tailored solutions demonstrated our flexibility and commitment to meeting client needs without compromising project integrity.


Execution Certainty and Partnership with an Experienced Client


The success of this loan closing depended heavily on the client’s experience and our collaborative approach. The client’s proven track record in multifamily development gave us confidence in their ability to execute the project efficiently. Our partnership ensured clear communication, transparency, and alignment of goals throughout the process.


This certainty in execution is crucial for lenders and developers alike. It reduces risk and builds trust, which ultimately benefits the project timeline and financial outcomes.
