Whether you’re building in Omaha metro, acquiring property in Lincoln, or repositioning assets in Papillion, you need a lender who can structure terms around your project timeline.

Financing Options for Nebraska Commercial Projects

Construction Loans

Ground-up construction financing for new commercial developments across Iowa.

Ground-up construction financing for new commercial developments across Nebraska. We fund multifamily apartments, industrial warehouses, retail centers, office buildings, and mixed-use projects. Our construction loans include flexible draw schedules, interest-only payments during construction, and loan amounts from $2 million to over $100 million. Common projects include developments in Omaha and Bellevue, industrial facilities in Lincoln area, and commercial buildings in Fremont. We finance deals throughout Nebraska including markets where banks require local branch relationships.

Bridge Loans

Short-term financing for acquisitions, stabilization, and value-add improvements.

Short-term financing for acquisitions, stabilization, and value-add improvements. Bridge loans solve timing problems. Close an acquisition in three weeks. Fund property improvements while you stabilize occupancy. Fill the gap between construction completion and permanent financing eligibility. Terms range from 12 to 36 months with interest-only payments and flexible prepayment options. Common uses include lease-up financing, value-add renovations, tenant improvements, and fast-close acquisitions.

Permanent Loans

Long-term fixed-rate financing for stabilized income-producing properties.

Long-term fixed-rate financing for stabilized income-producing properties. Once your property is leased and operating, permanent financing locks in long-term debt at predictable rates. We arrange permanent loans for multifamily, office, retail, industrial, and mixed-use properties with proven cash flow. Terms range from 5 to 30 years with competitive fixed rates.
