How Do These Loans Work?
Ground-Up Construction Loans
Ground-up construction loans are a specialized financial tool that provides the crucial capital required to initiate your ambitious business project. These loans can support your WA projects from the earliest stage to make sure that all other steps toward profit can be taken more smoothly.
There are few limits to the kind of ground-up project we can support with our real estate loans. Your project may be a state-of-the-art commercial property, a residential development, a condo, or a groundbreaking office space.
Whatever it is, you need funding before you can break ground, and our team may be able to provide it with some details about what you’re planning.
At Pacific Northwest Capital Partners, we’ve facilitated a number of ground-up ventures. We’ve assisted entrepreneurs, general contractors, developers, and real estate investors in completing their projects. Here are just some of the projects where we’ve been able to assist in the state:
Past Projects:
- $1,290,000 for a Queen Anne Rehab Loan: PNWCP provided 100% of the purchase price for this large development in Queen Anne so that construction could begin.
- $2,550,000 – Luxury Homes Ground-Up Construction Project: Our financing was used to support the development of three magnificent new residences with prime golf course frontage in Suncadia.
- $690,000.00 – Olympia Land Purchase: We supported the acquisition of 6 acres zoned for multifamily use adjacent to Interstate 5 in Olympia.
Construction Completion Loans
In addition to ground-up loans, we offer completion loans that are designed to bridge the gap between the final stages of a project and its successful completion.
These loans can save your development if you experience any interruption in funding or unplanned extra expenses while you are working to complete your project.
Our private hard money lenders offer borrowers the necessary financial resources to cover remaining construction expenses, finalize last-minute touches, and ensure that the project reaches its full potential without any financial constraints.
Here are just some examples of projects in Washington state where we have been able to provide necessary funding to complete construction:
Past Projects
$210,000.00– Aberdeen 12-Unit Apartment Complex Refinance: Our loan amount included $35,000 for building renovations in Aberdeen, which enhanced the value and functionality of the property.
$263,000.00 – Tacoma Commercial Rehab/Construction Completion Project: We supported the development of 10 apartments upstairs and three commercial spaces downstairs in Tacoma.
$109,000 – Bank-Owned Marysville Single-Family Residence: We funded 100% of the purchase price, closing costs, and $14,000 in rehab/construction costs. PNWCP took the first position on the subject property, enabling the completion of the flip without any out-of-pocket expenses.
What Types of Construction Projects Are Considered?
If your project has a business purpose and isn’t an owner-occupied primary residence, chances are good that it’s the kind of project we can support with hard money loans.
