Key Trends Driving Demand

Commercial real estate lending is rebounding in 2025. Recent reports confirm a sharp recovery in financing activity: CBRE's Lending Momentum Index rose 90% year-over-year in Q1 2025, reflecting robust closings in office, multifamily and healthcare deals. The Mortgage Bankers Association similarly found a 42% year-over-year increase in Q1 2025 originations, with notable gains in office, healthcare and multifamily loans. At the same time, the SBA's 7(a) program recorded near–record volumes (about $8.73 billion in Q1 FY2025) as entrepreneurs sought capital. However, Federal Reserve data show banks tightening standards on small-business commercial loan, creating a gap between demand & traditional credit.

New Commercial Real Estate Loan Program

Mountaintop's expanded platform is tailored to diverse CRE financing needs. Key features include:

• Senior Debt for Stabilized Assets: Long-term, fixed-rate loans (from banks or life companies) on income-producing properties.
• Bridge & Value-Add Financing: Shorter-term bridge loans for acquisitions, recapitalizations or asset repositioning.
• Construction Loans: Ground-up and renovation financing for commercial projects, with milestone-based draw schedules
• SBA 504 Owner-Occupier Loans: Long-term, fixed-rate financing for owner-occupied commercial real estate, enabling small businesses to acquire or refinance property with low down payments.
• Multi-Lender Competitive Bidding: Access to banks, life insurers, private credit funds and SBA 504 lenders, creating real pricing power and better loan terms.

Investor & Small-Business Impact

By combining Wall Street expertise with Main Street care, Mountaintop aims to close critical financing gaps. Developers nationwide – from New York to California – can now secure construction and bridge loans even for complex or unconventional projects. Owner-operators of all sizes gain access to SBA-backed loans at a time when many banks are cautious.
