Construction Lending

Construction Financing Built Around Your Project

Construction lending in Arizona is a different animal than a standard mortgage. The collateral is not a finished asset — it is a project in progress. The lender needs to understand the draw schedule, the contractor, the entitlements, and the exit. Banks rarely move fast enough or flexibly enough to serve developers well. That is why private construction lending exists.

We lend on the project, not just the land. Construction financing at Bridge Financial is structured around your draw schedule: capital is released in phases as work is completed and verified, so you are not paying interest on funds you have not drawn. We start with the exit — the sale, refinance, or takeout — and work backward to a loan structure that fits your timeline and budget.

Ground-up and value-add. We fund ground-up development across all commercial asset classes — multifamily, industrial, retail, office, mixed-use, hospitality, and specialty — as well as value-add renovations and tenant improvements. If the project is in Arizona and the numbers underwrite, we want to hear it.

Up to 85% of cost. On qualifying projects we can lend up to 85% of total project cost or 75% of completed value, with the structure tailored to the complexity of the deal. For projects that need additional leverage, we can layer in mezzanine debt or preferred equity through our structured capital program.

We are a direct lender. The principals who review your construction submission are the ones who approve it and fund it. No outside investor who can change the terms after you have a GC under contract, and no loan committee adding months to your start date. We close what we quote.

Arizona is our primary market. We are based in Tempe and have funded construction across the Phoenix metro, Tucson, Flagstaff, Prescott, and markets statewide. Our principals have been involved in more than $2 billion in Arizona real estate, previously operating as Oasis Financial.

FAQ

Construction Loans in Arizona

Common questions from developers and builders seeking construction financing in Arizona.

What types of construction projects do you fund in Arizona?

Ground-up development and value-add renovation across multifamily, industrial, retail, office, mixed-use, hospitality, and specialty assets. We also fund tenant improvements and condo/townhome projects.

How much can you lend on a construction project?

Up to 85% of total project cost or 75% of completed value, depending on the asset type, location, and exit plan. For additional leverage, we can layer mezzanine debt or preferred equity through our structured capital program.

How do construction draws work?

Funds are released in phases tied to your construction schedule. As each milestone is completed and verified, the corresponding draw is released. You only pay interest on what you have drawn.

What is the loan term for construction financing?

Typically 12 to 24 months, structured around your project timeline.

Do you lend on ground-up construction or only renovation?

Both. We fund ground-up development from the dirt up, as well as value-add renovations and tenant improvements on existing structures.

My construction project was turned down by a bank — can you help?

Often, yes. Banks decline construction deals for reasons that do not kill private lending — project complexity, timeline, asset type, or borrower structure. Submit the deal and we will give you a straight answer.

Do you work with owner-builders or only licensed GCs?

We evaluate each project on its merits, including the experience and track record of the builder. Call us at (480) 345-3990 to discuss your specific situation.

Where in Arizona do you fund construction projects?

Statewide. We are most active in the Phoenix metro and Tucson, but we fund projects across Arizona and in select markets throughout the Southwest.
