These loans finance the construction of a new capital asset.

Bridge Loans

Bridge loans provide interim capital to a project for re-positioning, such as a change in franchise for a hospitality project.

Term loans provide financing for an operating asset that is expected to continue operating in substantially the same manner it currently is.

Mezzanine Loans

Mezzanine loans are secured by a junior lien on a property, and provide additional capital to a borrower above and beyond the senior loan.
