Multifamily Construction Lending

CSG offers more than 25 years of construction lending and loan administration capabilities which exceed $1.5 billion in all 50 states. We work with developers demonstrating a successful track record of multifamily development in all types of communities. Our experienced team ensures that all aspects of our construction lending programs are effectively managed from application to servicing to meet the unique needs of our clients for both conventional and affordable multifamily housing loans. Our goal is to deliver competitive rates, terms, loan proceeds and outstanding service.

Typically, we provide loans from $500,000 to $25 million; however, larger loans may be considered based on project specifics. The terms below are provided as guidelines and are subject to change without notice.
