CONSTRUCTION-TO-BRIDGE FINANCING
One Financing Strategy From Construction Through Stabilization
Some development projects require financing during construction and a flexible solution after completion while the property reaches stabilization.
Construction-to-bridge financing can provide a transition from the construction phase into a bridge loan, helping borrowers avoid the complexity of arranging entirely separate financing facilities.
This type of structure can be particularly useful for projects that need additional time to:
- Complete construction
- Lease or sell the property
- Reach stabilization
- Establish operating history
- Transition into permanent financing
Leading Edge can evaluate construction-to-bridge strategies based on the project and available capital sources.
WHY DEVELOPERS CHOOSE CONSTRUCTION FINANCING
Financing Built Around the Project
PRESERVE CAPITAL
Construction financing can help developers preserve available cash for equity requirements, reserves, and other project costs.
FUND PROJECT COSTS
Financing can support eligible land, construction, development, soft costs, and other project expenses depending on lender guidelines.
STRONGER APPROVAL POTENTIAL
Construction financing is structured around the development schedule, including construction draws and project milestones.
CREATE A CLEAR EXIT STRATEGY
Projects can be structured with an identified path toward stabilization, sale, permanent financing, or bridge financing.
ACCESS MULTIPLE CAPITAL SOURCES
Leading Edge works with a broad network of commercial real estate lenders and capital providers to help identify financing options for qualified projects.
THE CONSTRUCTION FINANCING PROCESS
From Development Plan to Funding
Step 1: Project Consultation
We begin by understanding the project, financing objectives, development timeline, property type, and overall investment strategy.
Step 2: Financial & Project Review
We review the sponsor, project economics, construction budget, development plans, equity position, and projected exit strategy.
Step 3: Capital Source Identification
We identify lenders and capital sources that fit the property's characteristics, loan size, leverage requirements, and project profile.
Step 4: Loan Structuring
We help develop a financing structure that aligns the construction facility with the project's budget, timeline, and anticipated exit.
Step 5: Underwriting & Due Diligence
The lender completes its underwriting and reviews applicable project documentation, including plans, budgets, appraisals, environmental reports, and other required due diligence.
Step 5: Closing & Construction Draw
Once approved and closed, financing is funded according to the agreed structure and construction draw schedule.
