Strategic Legal Solutions for Complex Projects
Navigating the intricate world of construction finance requires expertise, precision, and foresight. Working with H&N means having a strategic ally who can expertly streamline your project’s financial journey and safeguard your interests at every stage. Our deep knowledge of construction finance empowers you to secure the financing you need, on terms that align with your project’s long-term success.
Why Financial Strategy Matters
Construction loans are more complex than they seem. The terms not only affect cash flow and repayment but also influence total project costs and potential risks of default. Additionally, many construction lenders require a takeout commitment—a pre-arranged loan from another lender to replace the initial financing upon project completion. These agreements introduce another layer of complexity to the terms, often stringent, designed to ensure the takeout lender’s continued involvement.
