  • Renovation and modernization

Industrial Properties

  • Conversion to higher use
  • Lease-up of speculative development
  • Acquiring underperforming assets

The Bridge Strategy

Commercial bridge loans are interim financing with a specific purpose:

  1. Acquire a transitional asset below stabilized value
  2. Improve through renovation, lease-up, or repositioning
  3. Stabilize by achieving target occupancy and income
  4. Exit via sale or refinance to permanent financing

What We Underwrite

For commercial bridge loans, we evaluate:

  • Sponsor Experience: Track record with similar assets
  • Business Plan: Realistic improvement strategy
  • Market Demand: Tenant demand for the property type
  • Exit Options: Path to permanent financing or sale
  • Downside Protection: Loan-to-value cushion

Value-Add Support

We structure loans to support your value-add strategy:

  • Renovation holdbacks released as work completes
  • Interest reserves during lease-up
  • Flexible prepayment for early exit
  • Extension options if you need more time
