Bridge and Construction Loans
When timing or complexity matter
Good real estate projects do not always fit neatly into a bank’s credit box.
You may be acquiring a property that needs renovation, repositioning an asset before stabilization, or moving quickly on an opportunity where timing matters. In these situations, traditional financing often cannot move fast enough or accommodate the business plan behind the project.
Bridge and construction financing provide the flexibility and speed developers need to move projects forward when conventional financing is not yet available.
Janus Capital works with developers and investors to structure short-term financing that supports acquisitions, renovations, and ground-up development while positioning the project for long-term financing once it stabilizes.
Situations Where Bridge Financing Can Help
Bridge and construction loans are often used when a project is in transition. Common situations include:
Acquisition opportunities with tight timelines
When speed is critical and traditional lenders cannot close quickly enough.
Value-add or repositioning projects
When a property requires renovations, lease-up, or operational improvements before it qualifies for permanent financing.
Ground-up development
When construction financing is required to bring a project from concept to completion.
Refinancing a property before stabilization
When an existing loan is maturing but the property still needs time to reach stabilized performance.
