BMO Developers Frequently Ask

What type of properties do we finance?
BMO has a very broad appetite. From multi-unit residential buildings and retail strips to heavy industrial warehouses and medical offices. We look for the underlying cash flow and the strategic value of the location. If you are looking to owner-occupy a space or build an investment portfolio, BMO has the structural expertise to make the numbers work for your specific business case.
How do we handle construction bridge financing?
We realize that development is a phased process. BMO provides draw-based construction loans where you only pay interest on the funds as they are utilized for each stage of the build. Once the project is complete and stabilized, we seamlessly transition you into long-term mortgage financing. This "end-to-end" support eliminates the need for expensive secondary lenders.
