The borrower, a DFW-based developer, sought financing for the development and construction of a retail project after being turned down by several traditional lenders. Many banks were hesitant to move forward because the developer already had multiple active projects underway, creating concerns surrounding overall exposure, liquidity, and construction concentration risk. In addition, the borrower needed a lender capable of executing quickly in order to keep the project on schedule and avoid delays in development. Tightening construction lending standards and reduced lender appetite toward speculative retail development further limited the available financing options. The borrower needed a financing solution that would provide competitive terms, strong execution, and confidence throughout the process despite the complexity surrounding multiple concurrent developments.
