Development Loans to Fund Significant Projects

What’s the purpose of a development loan?
A development loan is a specialised loan type that allows you, as the borrower, to finance the construction or rehabilitation of properties.

Suppose you are a real estate developer, construction company, or investor. In that case, you usually need to apply for a residential development loan to fund projects like building single-family homes, renovating townhouses, and constructing condominium complexes or apartment buildings.

In these high-stakes investments, you want to obtain the best development loan for your specific needs to ensure the project goes ahead smoothly and presents an opportunity for a great ROI.

Commercial Developments vs. Residential Developments
Commercial development loans are used to finance commercial property projects, such as office buildings, shopping centres, hotels, and industrial buildings. As you’d expect, residential development loans fund the construction of residences: single-family homes, townhouses, condominiums, and apartment buildings.

This difference can significantly affect the loan as commercial development loans are typically larger, meaning higher interest rates, more stringent eligibility criteria, etc.

If you’re unsure about the exact type of development loan you need and the terms you can expect, don’t fret. That’s why you trust the experts at Absolut to navigate this minefield for you. Contact us today, and we can talk you through your options.
