Office Building Financing:
Modern office buildings containing a minimum of 30,000 square feet of net rentable area and
adequate available parking in suitably zoned commercial locations. Strong preference for
properties located within planned industrial parks or CBD'S in cities where the office
market and office oriented employment characteristics are strong and occupancies are high.

Muti Family Apartment Financing:
Lending nationally and the program is available in major markets, secondary cities and
towns for both urban and suburban locations.
Existing apartments are in good condition, although older properties will be considered.
The loan may not exceed 80% of value or the amount that produces a minimum debt service
coverage ratio of 120%.
|
Mixed Use Building Financing:
Mixed-use property typically contains a combination of commercial (most often retail) space as
well as residential units. Although mixed-use properties are appealing to property owners
because of the commercial income that they generate, Lenders are often uneasy if too high a
percentage of a property's total income is generated by the commercial rather than the
residential component.

Retail Center Financing:
Retail and community shopping centers. Anchored, unanchored, outlet centers and single tenant
buildings will be considered. Facilities should have been completed and in operation for at

be higher depending on project.

financing. Operating cash flow with primary reliance on trailing 12 months results.

Warehouse Financing:
Strong preference for properties located within planned industrial parks in cities where
industrial market is strong and occupancies are high. Preference for high-ceiling warehouse
and distribution buildings rather than R&D or service center space. Buildings are required to
possess all functional requirements of accessibility, parking, loading, utilities, and fire
protection.
