Pre-Development Loans

Killarney Capital can provide funding for the refinance or acquisition of property that is indented for future development.

It may be that you need to settle a property or move it on from an existing lender while you work through planning, rezoning, consenting or obtaining pre-sales to qualify for development funding.

Unlike development and construction loans, pre-development loans are typically fully drawn at the outset.

We provide pre-development funding for:

Developable Land

Land that is appropriately zoned for development but may require a resource consent plus other due diligence to make it “shovel-ready” and able to be funded by a development and construction loan – typically within a 12-month window.

Land Banks

Land that has future development potential but may require a change in zoning and/or a resource consent to unlock the value of a development. This may take place over a longer timeframe – up to 24 months.

Pre-development loans are typically provided at lower loan-to-value ratios (up to 50%) given the associated risks involved in getting the land into a position where a development can proceed.

You may also need to service the monthly interest costs that apply to pre-development loans to maintain the loan-to-value ratio, pending the property qualifying for development funding.
