FAQ

Office Financing FAQ

Yes. While office lending has tightened since the pandemic, well-located office properties with strong tenancy, long-term leases, and low vacancy continue to attract financing from banks, life companies, and CMBS lenders. The key is demonstrating stable cash flow and tenant quality.

Office building loan rates range from 5.75% to 8.50% for permanent financing, depending on property quality, tenancy, and market. Class A office in strong submarkets commands better terms than Class B/C in weaker markets.

Key challenges include remote work uncertainty, higher vacancy rates in many markets, tenant downsizing trends, and increased lender scrutiny of lease rollover risk. Properties with long-term leases to creditworthy tenants in strong submarkets remain financeable.

Yes. SBA 504 and 7(a) loans are excellent options for businesses purchasing their own office space. With up to 90% financing and below-market rates, SBA programs are ideal for professional service firms, medical practices, and other owner-occupiers.

Medical office is underwritten more favorably than general office due to higher tenant stickiness (practices invest heavily in buildout), longer lease terms, and recession-resistant demand. Lenders may offer higher LTV and lower rates for medical office compared to general office.
