Commercial construction loans fund the vertical development or substantial renovation of income-producing real estate. Rad Capital Group sources construction debt nationwide from regional and national banks, debt funds, life companies, and HUD 221(d)(4) lenders for projects between $5 million and $200 million.

Standard structures include 18- to 36-month interest-only terms (with extension options), up to 75% loan-to-cost on most asset types, and 65–70% loan-to-value as completed. Pricing runs 8% to 13% on non-bank executions and SOFR + 250–400 bps on bank executions, with origination fees of 1–2%.

We finance ground-up hotels, multifamily, industrial, self-storage, mixed-use, medical office, and retail — plus heavy value-add renovations such as gut rehabs and adaptive reuse. We coordinate the take-out: bridge financing during lease-up, agency permanent for multifamily, CMBS or life-co debt for stabilized commercial assets, and SBA 504 for owner-occupied builds.

Our in-house underwriting front-loads the GC contract review, hard-cost contingency, interest reserve, completion guaranty, and recourse burn-off triggers — saving developers weeks of back-and-forth during diligence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What loan-to-cost can I get on a construction loan?

Most lenders cap leverage at 70–75% LTC for ground-up commercial construction, with stronger sponsors and lower-risk asset types (multifamily, industrial) achieving the upper end.

Do construction loans require recourse?

Bank construction loans typically require full recourse with a completion and carry guaranty. Debt-fund construction loans can be structured as non-recourse with carve-outs, usually at higher rates.
