Securing a commercial construction loan for various types of commercial real estate can be a difficult process to navigate. This post will shed some light on commercial construction loans and demystify the lending process.
Commercial Construction Loans and Lenders
The construction loan process begins when a developer submits a loan request with a lender. Construction or development lenders are almost always local community and regional banks. Historically this was due to bank regulation that restricted trade areas for lending. More recently, life insurance companies, national banks, and other specialty finance companies have also started making construction loans. However, community and regional banks still provide the majority of construction financing, since they have a much better understanding of local market conditions and the reputation of real estate developers than larger out of area banks.
There are two normally two loans required to finance a real estate development project, although sometimes these two loans will also be combined into one:
- Short term financing. This stage of financing funds the construction and lease up phase of the project.
- Long term permanent financing. After a project achieves “stabilization” and leases up to the market level of occupancy, the construction loan is “taken out” by longer term financing.
When a bank combines these two loans into one it’s usually in the form of a construction and mini-perm loan. The mini-perm is financing that takes out the construction loan, but is shorter in duration than traditional permanent financing. The purpose of the mini-perm is to pay off the construction loan and provide the project with an operating history prior to refinancing in the perm market.
Commercial Construction Loan Underwriting
After the initial loan request is submitted, the bank typically goes through a quick internal go/no-go decision process. If the project is given the go-ahead by the bank’s senior lender, the lender will sometimes issue a term sheet which outlines the terms and conditions of the proposed loan, provided all of the information presented is accurate and reasonable. Once the non-binding term sheet has been reviewed, negotiated, and accepted, the lender will move forward with a full underwriting and approval of the proposed loan.
During the underwriting process the lender will evaluate the proposed project’s proforma, the details of the construction budget, the local market conditions, the development team and financial capacity of the guarantors, and in general address any other risks inherent in the loan request. Typical documents required in the underwriting process include borrower/guarantor tax returns, financial statements, a schedule of real estate owned and contingent liabilities for the guarantor(s), the proposed project’s proforma, construction loan sources and uses, cost estimates, full project plans, engineering specifications, and in general, any other documents that can support the loan request.
From an underwriting standpoint, one of the most notable differences between a commercial construction loan and an investment real estate loan is that with a construction loan there is no operating history to underwrite. The economics of the project, and thus the valuation of the property, is based solely on the real estate proforma. The credit approval process is similar to other commercial loans, but because of the additional risks inherent in construction loans, further consideration is given to the development team and general contractor, as well as the prevailing market conditions.
Once the commercial construction loan is approved, the bank will issue a binding commitment letter to the borrower. The commitment letter is similar to the term sheet, but contains much more detail about the terms of the loan. Additionally, the commitment letter is a legally-binding contract whereas the term sheet is non-binding.
Commercial Construction Loan Closing and Beyond
Upon completion of the loan underwriting and approval, a loan then moves into the closing process, which can take on a life of its own. Commercial construction loan closings are complex and involve an overwhelming quantity of documentation and procedural nuances. Typically the closing is handled by the lender’s attorney, the borrower, and the borrower’s attorney. A loan closing checklist is also normally issued to the developer along with the commitment letter, which outlines in detail what needs to be completed before the loan can close and funding can begin.
After a loan closes, the loan mechanics are primarily the responsibility of the loan administration department within a bank. The loan administer (sometimes just called the loan admin), will fund the loan according to the internal policies and procedures of the bank. Commercial construction loans are typically funded partially at closing to cover previously paid soft and hard costs. After the initial partial funding, loan proceeds are disbursed monthly based on draw requests for costs incurred. These costs are submitted by the developer and verified by the lender.
Commercial construction loans can quickly become complex and difficult to secure. But understanding how construction loans work and how commercial developments are evaluated by lenders can help demystify the funding process. In future posts we’ll dive into various parts of this process in detail. In the mean time, if you have any specific questions about commercial construction loans, please let us know in the comments below.

If you have a construction loan, to get money out of the account do you have to summit a draw from your general contractor for work done, each time money is taken out.
Disbursement procedures will be outlined in the loan docs but generally, yes, draw requests will be submitted and usually there will also be a third party inspection of completed work.
That’s true! The service of commercial construction loans helps the builders in the construction of the home. The construction can be of any kind like new, commercial or residential. There are many companies, that provide the service of calculating commercial construction loan rates for the borrowers or builders.
what are the typical interest rates on these types of loans? For a Health Care/Office building
It depends on a lot of factors. Your best bet is probably to get in touch with a few lenders and ask what their current rates and loan policy is for your particular property.
It depends on how much money you require and the LTV.
It varies with the property type (http://www.commercialproperty-financing.com/property-type/), location, and other factor. Get in touch with a commercial loan broker and ask for a free quote.
Would a loan for a mixed use residential/commercial building be similar to just a commercial construction loan?
Good day everyone, I am Kate Davids by name, i am from of new york USA, i have been looking forward for a genuine loan company for the past 2 months and all i got was group of scams who made me to trust them and at the end of the day, they duped me of $5000 without giving anything in return, all my hope was lost, i got confused and frustrated,i find it very difficult to feed my family, i never wanted to have anything to do with loan companies on net again, because i never trusted any loan company again since i was scammed, so i went to borrow some money from a friend, i told him all that happened and he said he can help me, that he knows a loan company that can help me, that he just got a loan from them, he directed me on how to apply for the loan, i did as he told me, i applied, though i never believed but i tried and to my greatest surprise my loan was granted to me within 24 hours, i could not believe, i am happy and rich again and i am thanking God that upon this scams all over the places a genuine company like this still exist, please i advise everyone out there who are in need of loan and can be reliable, trusted and capable of paying back at the due time of funds to contact (contact@haiyingonline.com ) or hai_ying44@yahoo.com)and be free from scams on the internet. they will never disappoint you.

Very keen to understand the details of how a construction loan is underwritten and more importantly monitored.
I have a job that’s approved by SBA and owner what’s me as contractor need help
I have a property of 35 lakhs (reg value ) (mv : 1.3 crore) now i want to construct a complex on it . what type if loan i can get and what amount of loan i get plz suggest
When does the construction loan typically start to be paid back?
All the apartment complexes are advertised to have a club house, swimming pool, gym, garden, and playground etc. It would be a shame to call that pit a swimming pool but the point here is that you are made to pay for these things. If you are going to buy a house in one of these projects, there is nothing you can do to avoid paying for them. But what you can do is to buy a house in a much smaller apartment complex. These complexes typically have only 12-20 units and don’t have any of the above “luxuries”. You can see these kind of complexes everywhere in residential areas like Koramangala. The prices are about same as big complexes but then you get to live in the city and in a much better locality.

Life has really be so tough with me ever since I got married. 3months ago I received a sack letter from my working place on my way coming home I got a flat tire I was in short hopeless and helpless I got home my wife was asking me lots of questions that made me more upset and become so much angry and with that anger I threw offensive words at her I couldn’t control my anger. By the time I realize I have hurt we’ve already had fight and she left me because I call her names I was so out of my mind I even tell her she is a bad luck. I have been looking for a way to apology’s to her that I didn’t mean those words I said but she wouldn’t listen to me again. I am nothing with her. my love for her, I can’t live without her so I was looking for a solution. I have come across lots of comment about getting your ex back but I wonder if there’d be such powers. So I first contact one, that one didn’t help and I contact another spell caster he was still the same with the one I contacted before. They were just after my money. I gave up on spell caster because I believe there is nothing from them but, still again I was wrong because the way there is fake on it that’s also there is real on it…when I met up with odogboo he did not just only bring my wife back but he advise me of my mistakes and encourage me indeed, he is a father of understanding that what I figure out about him and I like it…he knows about life and about mankind. He is not just a spiritualist but he is a lord. I contacted odogboospell@gmail.com readers, if you need spiritual help on either financial problem or ex back odogboo is the priest you need to contact he is the real one I have always be wrong but with this I am right . contact him on the his direct email above my comments with your problems and I promise you,, you shall come back with a living testimonies… thanks to you great lord odogboo for bringing my wife back

Usually a construction loan funds its own interest expense and is due in full when the loan term expires. When this happens the loan typically rolls into a mini permanent loan extended by the same lender, or its refinanced with a take out loan from a permanent lender.
