Bridge & Structured Loans
Century’s flexibility as a lender is best demonstrated in the innovative bridge and structured loans we originate.
When there is a demonstrated source of repayment, Century bridges that funding to allow developments to move forward. Century is also able to leverage its own balance sheet to provide credit enhancements for financing by other lenders.
Bridge & Structured Loan Types:
- Bridge loans of tax credit equity fundings, permitting a higher per credit price, injecting additional equity and reducing public fi nancing subsidy.
- Credit enhancements for subordinate tax exempt bonds sold to private investors.
- Medium-term loans to fund required operating and debt service reserves for the initial term of new construction.
- Stand-by guarantees for projected rent increases during construction.
