Value-Add Bridge Loans for Commercial Real Estate | CLS CRE 

Value-Add Bridge Loans for Commercial Real Estate

Value-add bridge loans finance the acquisition and renovation of underperforming commercial real estate where the property does not yet qualify for permanent financing. These 12 to 36-month facilities fund both the purchase and capital improvement budget, allowing investors to execute the business plan, stabilize occupancy and rents, then refinance into long-term debt at the improved value. Minimum loan size is $2 million; most institutional value-add lenders focus on deals of $3M to $30M.

Bridge Financing for Value-Add and Repositioning Strategies

Value-add investing is one of the most active strategies in commercial real estate, but it requires a capital structure that traditional lenders cannot provide. A bank will not lend on a 55%-occupied apartment building or a retail center with multiple vacant anchors. Value-add bridge lenders underwrite to the projected stabilized value and the sponsor's business plan, funding both acquisition and renovation through a single loan with a committed future funding facility. The exit is typically agency debt, CMBS, bank permanent, or a sale at stabilized pricing. Experienced sponsors with a credible business plan and skin in the game are the primary borrower profile.
