Predevelopment Loans
In the earliest stages of a development project, working capital is necessary to apply for financing, obtain site control, engage professional design and engineering work, and other similar costs. Predevelopment loans can fund these costs prior to the closing on the project’s construction financing. These loans are available in limited circumstances, by invitation only after initial consultation with Rise CDFI staff.
