Commercial Property Development Finance

Development finance is rarely a single product — it's a capital structure. Senior debt sits at the bottom of the stack, mezzanine fills the gap to your equity, and the right blend is dictated by your asset class, pre-sales or pre-lease position, sponsor track record, and how much equity you're prepared to commit.

We work with major banks for the sharpest senior pricing on well-presented, pre-sold projects; with second-tier and non-bank lenders for stretch senior where leverage matters more than rate; and with private credit funds for speed-to-market on opportunistic plays. The right combination is the one that delivers the project on time, on budget, and with the right return on the equity you put in.

What we finance

• Townhouse and apartment developments — 4 to 100+ units
• Childcare, medical, NDIS specialist disability accommodation
• Industrial estates, warehouse developments, last-mile logistics
• Mixed-use commercial and retail with residential upper
• Land subdivision and englobo land bank acquisition
• Residual stock loans on completed but unsold projects
• Refinance and recapitalisation of part-built projects

How we structure a facility

We start with your feasibility study and DA position. From there we build a funding model that lenders can credit-paper quickly: TDC schedule with line items reconciled to the builder's contract, GRV evidenced by valuer-acceptable comparable sales, sponsor profile pack with prior project performance, and a pre-sales or pre-lease plan if leverage requires it. We then run the facility to two or three lenders most likely to win the deal, and negotiate on rate, fees, covenants and flexibility — not just headline rate.
