Crux Secures $19.5M Multifamily Renovation Financing for 130-Unit Property in the Pacific Northwest Amid Challenging Lending Environment

Crux Commercial Partners secured a $19.5 million bridge-to-mini-perm loan for a 130-unit multifamily renovation project in the Pacific Northwest after more than a year of deal structuring.

-- Crux Commercial Partners announced the successful closing of a $19.5 million multifamily renovation financing package in the Pacific Northwest. The deal, structured as a bridge-to-mini-perm loan, funded a 130-unit property in mid-renovation after more than a year of complex structuring in one of the most restrictive lending markets in recent years.

Led by Crux partner Jacob Wilson, the team worked directly with bank executives to underwrite the loan based on forward-looking performance metrics rather than traditional in-place income. This approach helped the client avoid an additional $2 million equity injection and reduced the interest reserve burden during the renovation phase.

“This property was acquired prior to the increase in rates and had unexpected renovation overruns,” said Wilson. “Restructuring this deal in a way that allowed for the additional rehab budget, while not requiring an injection was an obstacle due to the rental regulatory restrictions in Tacoma and increased rates.”

The final loan structure features an interest-only term during renovations with automatic conversion to a mini-perm upon stabilization. The five-year term delivers both immediate capital and longer-term financing stability without the need for refinancing risk.
