CAPITAL STACKS • TERMS • LEVERAGE

Finance every phase—without rebuilding the story each time.

We build the deal package so it’s underwriteable: clean story, clean numbers, clean documents. Then we match the capital partner(s) to your phase, collateral, market, and risk profile. Below are general frameworks (not quotes).

Construction / development
FULL LIFECYCLE DEBT + EQUITY DEAL‑DRIVEN

Typical CRE phase options

These ranges are provided for context and expectation-setting only. Final terms depend on asset type, market, sponsor strength, project readiness, diligence, and capital partner approval.

Soft costs / pre‑development

  • Typical term: 6–24 months
  • Typical leverage: LTC ~50%–75%
  • Common structure: interest‑only
  • Typical rate context: SOFR + ~6% to ~10%

Construction financing

  • Typical term: 12–36 months (extensions sometimes available)
  • Typical leverage: LTC ~60%–80%
  • Common structure: interest‑only during construction
  • Recourse: often full or partial depending on risk + leverage

Bridge to stabilization

  • Use case: lease‑up, seasoning, NOI improvement
  • Structure: bridge / transitional debt
  • Goal: hit DSCR + occupancy for takeout

Permanent takeout

  • Typical leverage: LTV ~55%–80%
  • Select SBA structures: up to ~90% LTV (eligibility dependent)
  • Terms: 5–40 years (program dependent)
  • Programs: bank/credit union, agency, CMBS, life co, SBA 504, and more

Non‑recourse on stabilized/permanent executions is often possible. Construction is commonly recourse or partially recourse. Standard carve‑outs typically apply (fraud, misrepresentation, misuse of funds, environmental, unauthorized transfers, etc.).

STACK COMBINATIONS C‑PACE / PREF / MEZZ JV OPTIONS

When the stack needs more than senior debt

If leverage alone doesn’t solve the structure, we can help explore capital stack combinations such as: first + second (where supportable), senior + C‑PACE (where applicable), senior + preferred equity, or senior + mezz + equity.

Equity raising support

  • LP equity (passive)
  • GP equity (operating/sponsor)
  • Preferred equity (hybrid‑like economics)
  • JV structures with negotiated control/economics

Investor expectation ranges

  • Preferred return targets often ~15%–20% (risk‑dependent)
  • Target IRRs often mid‑teens to mid‑20s+ (risk‑dependent)
  • Equity multiples often ~1.5× to 2.5×+ (timeline dependent)

Equity timelines vary widely—fast on clean, compelling packages; longer on complex raises. These are general investor-target ranges, not guarantees.

Modern commercial building
EQUITY & JV CAPITAL

Investor capital that actually fits the deal.

When the stack requires equity (or preferred equity), Stratas can help structure and place it—so you close without burning leverage or time. We focus on aligning investor expectations to the deal reality before you go to market.

LP / GP EQUITY PREFERRED EQUITY JV STRUCTURES

What equity partners care about

Downside protection Clear collateral story, realistic underwriting, and plan B scenarios.
Sponsor track record Experience, PFS strength, and the infrastructure to execute and report.
Clean documents Budget, sources & uses, timeline, and terms that don’t fight each other.
Aligned economics Waterfalls, controls, and reporting that match the risk profile.
Preferred equity Priority position in the stack with contractual economics (terms depend on risk, timeline, collateral, and structure).
LP / passive equity Capital that fills the gap while the operator stays focused on execution.
JV structures Negotiated control + economics (target IRRs often mid‑teens to mid‑20s+ depending on risk).
Equity timelines vary by deal and readiness—sometimes as fast as 1–2 months on clean packages, and longer on complex raises. Sponsor co‑invest expectations vary by structure (often ~5%+ as a baseline).

AVAILABLE PROGRAMS

All the capital paths—under one roof.

Most sponsors don’t need “a lender.” They need a stack that fits the asset, the phase, the leverage, and the exit. Below is a quick map of common program lanes we can structure and place (deal‑dependent).

Pre‑development / soft costs

Early‑phase capital to keep momentum before the full stack is live.

  • Design + entitlement runway
  • Feasibility + early diligence
  • Bridge into construction

Construction financing

Ground‑up or heavy rehab structures with draws and realistic covenants.

  • Interest‑only construction
  • LTC/LTV structured to budget
  • Non‑recourse options (select)

Bridge / lease‑up / stabilization

Transitional capital when NOI and occupancy are still ramping.

  • Bridge to perm takeout
  • Renovation + reposition
  • Portfolio recapitalizations

Permanent takeout

Lock in long‑term terms once the asset is stabilized.

  • Bank / agency (select)
  • CMBS / life company (select)
  • Rate/term or cash‑out

Portfolio refinance

Refi or recap multiple assets with a consistent story and structure.

  • Cross‑collateral options
  • Non‑recourse where possible
  • Single close vs. multi close

Mezzanine / preferred equity

Fill gaps and increase leverage without breaking the senior terms.

  • Senior + pref equity stacks
  • Senior + mezz + equity stacks
  • Negotiated controls & waterfalls

LP / JV equity sourcing

Investor capital when the stack needs equity to close.

  • LP equity (passive)
  • GP equity (operating)
  • JV structures (negotiated)

Specialty lanes

When the execution needs an extra tool in the toolkit.

  • C‑PACE (where applicable)
  • Hybrid / structured capital
  • Program fit depends on asset + profile

Not sure which program fits?

Apply once. We’ll structure the right stack and route it to the right capital partners.

HOW WE MOVE FAST

Shovel‑Ready Fast Track: “2‑week close” (up to $100M)

Speed comes from preparation. When entitlements, budgets, and documentation are complete, we can move extremely fast by matching you directly with the right partners and keeping the package clean. Larger deals can still move quickly—timelines depend on diligence and structure.

Developer team planning
FAST‑TRACK UP TO $100M COMPLETE FILE

What “shovel‑ready” really means

Fast closes aren’t magic—they’re documentation. If any of these items are missing, timelines expand.

Entitlements Zoning and entitlements confirmed (permits approved or near issuance).
Budget & plans Underwriteable plans + budget (GMP preferred) and clear sources & uses.
Sponsor equity Verified equity and clean ownership structure.
Diligence Clean title + third‑party reports available or ordered (appraisal, environmental, survey).

Timing note: a ~2‑week close assumes a complete file, fast responsiveness, and no diligence issues. Fast‑track is typically reserved for shovel‑ready projects up to $100M.

FAST SUBMISSION CHECKLIST

To move quickly, upload what you have—then tell us your folder is complete.

  • Sponsor + entity financials: tax returns, bank statements, PFS, P&L, balance sheet/SREO (as applicable)
  • Project package: summary, pro forma, requested terms, sources & uses, budget, plans, leases (if applicable)
  • Approvals + compliance: entitlements, permits, third‑party reports (if available or ordered)
  • Sponsor profile: bio/resume + track record

Missing items don’t always kill a deal—but they almost always slow it down.

OUR 4‑STEP WORKFLOW

We reduce rework: we build a clean Executive Summary, you approve it, and then we present to the right partners—no “spray and pray.”

  • Step 1: Submit your CRE request to kick off the file
  • Step 2: Upload docs to a secure folder (your deal home base)
  • Step 3: Review and approve the Executive Summary (6–20 pages typical)
  • Step 4: Partner matching + underwriting flow with transparent follow‑ups

We prioritize complete, responsive, ready‑to‑close files.

FAQ

Quick answers (so you can move)

What’s the minimum CRE deal size?

Our typical minimum CRE deal size is $5,000,000. If you’re close, apply anyway—we’ll confirm fit quickly.

Do you finance soft costs and pre‑development?

Yes—soft costs / pre‑development capital is a common use case. Terms and leverage depend on readiness, market, and sponsor profile.

Can you help raise equity or preferred equity?

Yes—when the capital stack requires equity, we can help structure and place LP equity, GP equity, preferred equity, and JV options (deal dependent).

How fast can you close?

Speed is file‑driven. For shovel‑ready, fully packaged deals, timelines can be very fast (including select cases around ~2 weeks). Missing items or complexity extends timelines.

Are you a direct lender?

No—Stratas is a broker. We structure, package, and place capital through a network of lenders and investors. All terms depend on underwriting and partner approval.

What’s the best next step?

Submit the CRE application and include a short project summary + your target structure and timing. Or book a call if you want to talk it through first.
