Bridge the Gap withFast Commercial Bridge Loans
At Crestico, we’re more than just a mortgage brokerage—we’re your agile financing ally for bridging opportunities in commercial real estate.
What areCommercial Bridge Loans?
Commercial bridge loans are short-term loans (typically ranging from 6 months to 3 years) secured by commercial real estate. They are often used in situations where a borrower needs funding faster than a traditional loan can provide, or when a property may not yet qualify for permanent financing due to factors like vacancy, necessary renovations, or other transitional elements.
In the fast-paced world of commercial real estate, opportunities can arise quickly, and sometimes traditional financing timelines don’t align with the speed required to act. Commercial bridge loans from Crestico provide a crucial short-term financing solution, designed to “bridge the gap” until longer-term funding can be secured or a property is sold. If you need swift, flexible capital for a time-sensitive commercial property transaction, a bridge loan might be the ideal solution.
At Crestico, we understand that speed and flexibility are often paramount when it comes to bridge financing. Our experienced team is equipped to evaluate bridge loan scenarios quickly and provide rapid funding for qualifying projects, helping you seize opportunities and execute your strategy without delay.

Focus on Property Value & Exit Strategy
While borrower credit is considered, bridge lending often places a greater emphasis on the underlying value of the commercial real estate and the viability of your exit strategy (e.g., refinance or sale).
Important Considerations for Bridge Loans
Higher Interest Rates & Fees
Due to their short-term nature and often higher risk profile, bridge loans typically come with higher interest rates and origination fees than permanent financing.
Short Repayment Terms
Borrowers must have a clear and achievable plan to repay the bridge loan within its term, usually through refinancing with a long-term loan or selling the property.
Strong Exit Strategy Required
Lenders will closely scrutinize your plan for repaying the bridge loan.
