CRE Gap Financing & Bridging Loans
Capital for acquisitions, refinance, construction finish, lease-up, and maturity defaults. Stretch senior, mezzanine, and preferred equity with structured reserves, intercreditor alignment, and time-certain execution.
We arrange bridge loans and gap capital for value-add and transitional assets with the controls lenders expect and sponsors need: interest reserves sized to business plan, capex and TI/LC escrows, springing cash management, SNDA and intercreditor coordination, and an exit underwritten to permanent debt or sale on realistic timing and metrics.
