Ground-Up Financing
for Projects of Every Size

We evaluate each ground-up construction loan by looking at the fundamentals: sponsor experience, project scope, construction budget, build schedule, market conditions, and exit strategy. Rather than relying on rigid checklists, we underwrite SFR construction, BTR developments, multifamily projects, mixed-use builds, and MHC communities based on the unique merits and complexity of each deal.

Yes. We finance both horizontal and vertical development for SFR, BTR, multifamily, and mixed-use projects. Horizontal development is evaluated selectively based on scope, structure, and overall project strategy, while vertical construction is a core focus of our construction platform.​​ For subdivisions or community-scale developments, we can structure phased starts, horizontal-to-vertical sequencing, and rolling deliveries.

We fund a wide range of residential and mixed-use ground-up construction projects, including:

• Single-family homes and scattered-lot SFR construction
• Urban infill townhomes and small clusters
• Build-to-Rent (BTR) communities and horizontal multifamily
• Multifamily ground-up development
• Mixed-use residential and condo components
• Manufactured Housing Communities (real estate/infrastructure only)

If your project falls within residential or mixed-use development, we can likely support it.

We support a broad range of construction loan sizes, from individual SFR builds to large, multi-phase or community-scale development projects. Our team can quickly determine fit based on project size, scope, and sponsor experience.

Closing timelines depend on project complexity, sponsor readiness, and documentation, but Genesis is structured to move efficiently. Our underwriting and construction management teams are in-house, which streamlines decisions and communication to help accelerate closing for SFR, BTR, multifamily, and mixed-use construction loans.

Genesis manages all draw schedules in-house through our fund control team. This ensures timely inspections and predictable draw disbursements aligned with actual progress on site, helping your ground-up development stay on schedule.

Yes. We frequently structure financing for phased construction, rolling CFOs, and sequential vertical starts—common in BTR communities, subdivisions, and multi-building developments. Completed phases can transition into stabilization or lease-up financing as appropriate.

Yes. Our One-Time-Close structure combines construction financing with a built-in transition into lease-up or bridge, eliminating the need for a second closing. This solution is available for select SFR, BTR, and multifamily projects with experienced sponsors.

Often, yes. Depending on the project, we may provide post-construction financing for lease-up, stabilization, or transitional needs. Many sponsors pair construction financing with our bridge programs to create a seamless capital stack from buildthrough stabilization.

Yes. Genesis lends in primary, secondary, and select tertiary markets nationwide for SFR, BTR, multifamily, mixed-use, and manufactured housing construction projects. Market dynamics and local considerations may influence structure or underwriting.

No. We focus exclusively on investment-grade residential and mixed-use ground-up development led by experienced builders and developers.
