Industrial loan rates range from 5.34% to 8.25% for permanent financing, with rates on the lower end for long-term credit-tenant net lease assets. Construction loans range from 6.79% to 10%+, and bridge loans fall in the 7-12% range depending on the transition strategy.

Industrial property LTV ratios range from 65% to 75% for permanent financing, with banks and life companies at the higher end for strong deals. Construction loans offer 65-80% of total project cost, and bridge loans provide 65-75% of as-is value.
