Bridge loans provide short-term financing for commercial properties in transition — whether during lease-up, renovation, repositioning, or acquisition. These 6 to 36-month facilities offer speed and flexibility that traditional lenders cannot match, making them ideal for time-sensitive opportunities and value-add strategies.

Common use cases include acquiring a property that doesn't yet qualify for permanent debt, funding tenant improvements and lease-up, providing time for entitlement and permitting, or bridging to a construction loan start. Sources include debt funds, private lenders, and select banks willing to provide transitional capital.
