Financing for Every Stage of Your Project

Ground up construction loans are a specialized form of financing for investors and developers. We understand that construction projects happen in phases, and we have solutions for each step.

  • Horizontal Development: Before you can build up, you have to prepare the ground. We offer financing for the initial horizontal phase, which includes purchasing raw land, grading, and installing essential infrastructure like roads, sewers, and utilities. This prepares your project to be "vertical ready."
  • Vertical Construction: Once the land is prepared, our loans cover the "vertical" construction – the actual building of the structure. Whether it's a single spec home, a multi-family complex, or a commercial building, we provide the capital through a structured draw process to take you to completion.

You can use our financing for one stage or combine them. If you already own a vertical-ready lot, we can provide the construction loan. If you're starting with raw land, we have options to finance the entire project from start to finish.
