Developers often need funding quickly to secure a site, start construction, cover cost overruns or complete a project. When traditional lenders are too slow or restrictive, private funding may provide an alternative.
When developers use private funding
Private funding may assist with:
- Site acquisition
- Pre-construction funding
- Construction shortfalls
- Mezzanine finance
- Residual stock loans
- Settlement deadlines
- Refinancing existing debt
Why speed matters
Development opportunities can be time-sensitive. Delays in funding may result in lost sites, penalty interest, builder delays or missed sales windows.
What private funders assess
Private funders may consider:
- Site value
- Project feasibility
- Builder strength
- Developer experience
- Security position
- Exit strategy
- Timeline to repayment
Benefits
- Faster assessment
- Flexible deal structuring
- Ability to fund complex scenarios
- Asset-backed approach
Important considerations
Private funding is generally more expensive than traditional bank debt. It should be used strategically, with clear repayment and refinance planning.
