Frequently Asked Questions
Land Development Loans
What is a land development loan?
A land development loan is financing to purchase and/or improve raw, unimproved land for a residential or commercial subdivision. It covers site work, infrastructure, and land preparation — not vertical construction (which requires a separate construction loan).
Do I need development experience to qualify?
Yes. Normandy’s property development financing program requires a minimum of 2 years of developer experience. This ensures the borrower can manage the complexities of a raw land development loan project.
What is the maximum loan-to-value?
Up to 50% of appraised value, not to exceed 70% of loan-to-cost. Land purchases are funded up to 55% of purchase price. Cross collateralization on other properties can help achieve higher loan amounts.
Can this loan cover both land purchase and development costs?
Yes. Normandy’s subdivision development loan can cover both the purchase of raw land and the cost of site improvements in a single loan — simplifying your real estate development loan structure.
What are the rates?
Rates start at Prime plus 2.50% to 4.50%+. Loan fees range from 1.25% to 1.75%+. Application fee is $650. All rates and terms subject to change without notice.
