Questions

New Construction FAQ

How much development experience is expected?+

The standard path generally expects 1–2 completed ground-up projects. The experienced-developer path generally expects 3+ similar completed projects or comparable professional development experience.

Are plans and permits required before closing?+

The complete requirement depends on the structure. Unpermitted projects may receive a lower land advance, and any later catch-up draw is conditional rather than guaranteed.

Is an interest reserve required?+

The current working baseline calls for at least one month of interest reserve. The final reserve and whether it is financed depend on the structure and underwriting.
