$4M Construction Financing for 6 Residential + 1 Commercial Units

Project Overview

Foremost clients assembled two lots that together total 53 ft. x 120 ft. They successfully obtained a zoning by law amendment and site plan approval in order to build:

  • Four 2,000 sq. ft. townhome units
  • Two 1,600 sq. ft. walk-up apartment units
  • One 700 sq. ft. ground-floor commercial unit
  • Seven underground parking spaces

The sponsor is an experienced real estate developer who assembled a strong project team, including a seasoned architect and construction manager. Based on the depth of experience and quality of execution, Foremost Financial provided a $4,025,000 first mortgage construction loan to finance:

  • Soft costs
  • Hard construction costs
  • Interest accrued during construction

Throughout the build, the client worked closely with Foremost’s in-house cost consultant, allowing for efficient draw reviews and funding advances—typically within one to two business days of site inspections. The streamlined process eliminated unnecessary paperwork and delays, enabling construction to stay on schedule.

Construction has since been completed, and the loan was successfully taken out by a CMHC-insured permanent loan, marking a smooth exit for all parties.
