Commercial Bridge Loans
Short-term commercial debt for eligible acquisition, stabilization, lease-up, renovation or another defined transition.
Eligible commercial-property jurisdictions nationwide; Nevada excluded unless handled through a verified Nevada-licensed channel
Who it is built for
Start with the actual use case.
Sponsors with a credible value-creation plan and identifiable refinance, sale or permanent-debt exit.
Key decision
Extension rights, interest reserve, covenants, recourse and exit timing can matter more than initial leverage.
Lease-up or renovation
Eligibility and structure depend on the complete borrower, property and transaction profile.
Maturity replacement
Eligibility and structure depend on the complete borrower, property and transaction profile.
The direct answer
How this program works.
Commercial bridge debt addresses an identifiable transition such as repair, leasing or stabilization. The refinance or sale exit needs evidence and timing margin.
Compare the alternative
Compare a bridge with available permanent debt when the property is already stable.
Illustrative example
A twelve-month bridge with nine months of renovation leaves limited time for lease-up and refinance. Stress-test the remaining three months.
Important boundaries
- Extensions and exit pricing may change cost.
- Nevada commercial inquiries are stopped.
