Commercial Construction Loan amounts in Richmond typically range from $500,000 for smaller tenant improvement projects up to $10 million or more for ground-up developments or large-scale renovations. Loan size depends on project scope, equity, and borrower experience.

Funding timelines vary by project complexity and lender due diligence. Smaller tenant improvements may close in 30 to 45 days. Larger ground-up construction projects can take 60 to 90 days or longer, particularly when zoning or environmental reviews are involved.

Credit standards differ by lender and project risk. Most prefer scores above 680 and significant construction experience. Strong equity contributions, pre-leasing commitments, and solid collateral can help offset credit weaknesses or limited development track records.

Collateral is the land and improvements under construction, typically secured by a first-lien deed of trust. Lenders may also require personal guarantees, completion bonds, or additional assets to protect against cost overruns, delays, or market shifts during the build.

Expect to provide detailed construction budgets, architectural plans, contractor bids, a project timeline, and proof of equity or down payment. Lenders also require personal and business tax returns, a balance sheet, and evidence of zoning approval or permits.
