Commercial Construction Lending

Construction loans for commercial real estate (CRE) remain a major part of commercial bank lending. Many community banks attempt to use versions of their residential formats and policies to administer commercial construction loans; however, this generally does not adequately control the situation due to several important differences between residential and commercial projects.

This program provides an overview of the key steps involved in effectively administering commercial construction loans.
