Commercial Real Estate Investment Financing Across Canada

Real estate development requires capital at every stage from securing raw land to stabilizing a fully tenanted building. Banks finance completed assets but developers need funding throughout the entire project lifecycle. At Inspired Management Consulting, we structure financing for land acquisition, construction, bridge periods, and long term take-out.

Beyond Standard Mortgages

Land Acquisition to Stabilization We Finance the Entire Lifecycle

A standard commercial mortgage covers a finished building generating stable income. Development does not work that way. You need capital to acquire land before site plan approval. You need construction draws to pay contractors during the build. You need bridge financing to cover the lease-up period before tenants stabilize cash flow. Each stage requires different lenders with different risk appetites.

We structure financing across the full development lifecycle. Land acquisition through private lenders or vendor take-back arrangements. Construction loans with progress advances tied to project milestones. Bridge loans to carry the asset through stabilization. Permanent take-out financing once the building reaches target occupancy. One capital partner guiding your project from dirt to disposition.

What We Offer

Specialized Financing for Real Estate Developers

Each stage of real estate development requires different financing structures. Banks focus on stabilized assets with proven cash flow. Developers need lenders who understand construction risk, land entitlement timelines, and lease-up periods. We connect you with capital sources that match your project stage.


Construction Loans

Finance your multi-family, industrial, or retail build with interest-only progress advances. Lenders release funds as construction milestones are verified by quantity surveyors. Loan to cost up to 75%.

Land Financing

Banks avoid raw land. We work with private lenders who fund land acquisition at 50 to 65% LTV. Secure your site now and refinance into construction financing once site plan approval is granted.

Mezzanine Financing

Fill the gap between your senior debt and equity. Mezzanine capital sits behind the first mortgage and boosts your leverage so you keep more cash for other projects.

Bridge Loans

Short term capital for fast closings, lease-up periods, or permit delays. Private bridge financing closes in 5 to 10 business days when you cannot wait for conventional lenders.
