Unusual Financings

Exceptional financing solutions for unique and complex situations

Financing #1: $26M Construction Financing in Hawaii with 3-Year Build Period

๐Ÿ“ Princeville, Kauai, HI
Completed Value:
$60,000,000
Construction Financing:
$26,000,000
Build Period:
3 years (unusually long term)
Scenario

HNW Couple building their family compound on 11+ acres of prime land in Princeville. They received favorable terms from one of our private banks. The reason this is unusual is that typically, banks will only go to 24 months on a new build and convert the loan from interest-only payment as drawn to amortized payments of the full loan (if the home is completed or not). This private bank is granting our esteemed clients an additional 12 months to complete their build as they anticipate delays with weather, materials, etc.

We introduced her to a lender contact of ours who closed in less than 10 days. They cross-collateralized the full purchase price of $4,000,000 as a first on the property she was purchasing and as a second behind her low-interest-rate first TD mortgage of her current primary residence in Beverly Hills valued at $18,000,000.
