About this program

Everything you need to know about commercial construction loan in Albuquerque.

Commercial construction loans are some of the most complex deals in commercial lending — and Vanward Financial structures them daily for Albuquerque developers, general contractors, and owner-occupants. Whether you're ground-up on a 30,000 sf industrial flex, building out a second restaurant location, or developing a 24-unit multifamily on the Westside, we package the file across construction-experienced banks, SBA 504 CDCs, and private construction lenders. Single-close construction-to-permanent financing means you sign once, lock your perm rate up front, and convert without re-qualifying. Draws are managed cleanly through inspections and we coordinate with your GC, architect, and title company so the project stays on schedule.

Single-close construction-to-perm financing

Lock your construction rate AND your 25-year permanent rate at one closing. No re-application, no second appraisal, no surprise rate hike when the project finishes. SBA 504 single-close is one of the cheapest construction structures available for owner-occupied CRE.

Draw management and contractor coordination

Construction loans fund in draws against AIA G702/G703 progress reports. We coordinate with your bank's construction inspector, GC, and title company so draws release on schedule and your subs stay paid.

Bonding-friendly working capital for contractors

Need working capital that won't hurt your bonding capacity? We structure unsecured lines of credit and SBA working capital loans that stay off your balance sheet in ways your surety can live with.
