Construction Lending in Today's Environment

All,

Given the current market conditions, are banks grounded to a halt pushing money out the door? Prior to this pandemic, the economy was rather healthy. I am working on a deal that requires roughly $40M of speculative non-recourse construction debt. The equity is in place. Happy to discuss further if anyone has any recommendations given the current state of the economy.

Thanks in advance!

Calling banks in your area and getting a direct response would be far more productive than posting on WSO.

If you're in contract on the land i would ask the seller for an extension. You'll be able to find better debt terms in a month or two. Most lenders are on the sideline right now waiting for the dust to settle and it'll be hard to find terms that won't blow up your UW. If you absolutely need the debt now you should call a debt placement broker at JLL or CBRE to find you the best terms out there.
