Nelson Funding provides construction loans, bridge financing, and permanent financing for commercial real estate projects across Texas. We work with developers, investors, and business owners in Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, and throughout the state.
Financing commercial real estate in Texas requires understanding local market dynamics and having access to flexible capital. Whether you’re building in Houston metro, acquiring property in Dallas, or repositioning assets in Corpus Christi, you need a lender who can structure terms around your project timeline.
Ground-up construction financing
Ground-up construction financing for new commercial developments across Texas. 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 Houston and Austin, industrial facilities in Dallas-Fort Worth, and commercial buildings in Lubbock. We finance deals throughout Texas including markets where banks require local branch relationships.
Short-term financing
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.
Long-term fixed-rate financing
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.
We work with experienced investors and developers throughout Texas
We provide financing that traditional banks cannot provide, tailored to the unique needs of the Texas market.
Initial loan feedback within 48 hours. Close transactions in 7 to 14 days when documentation is ready.
Loans from $1 million to $100M+ customized to your project timeline and cash flow requirements.
Multifamily, industrial, office, retail, hospitality, mixed-use, and specialty commercial properties.
We finance projects in Houston, Dallas, Austin, and throughout Texas including secondary markets.
Traditional banks use committee approvals and conservative underwriting. We make decisions quickly and structure loans around project economics and sponsor experience.
