Investor Lending · New Construction

Capital that builds alongside you.

Structureddraw schedule

Ground-Up Construction loans finance new residential builds — from raw land through certificate of occupancy. Draws are released against verified progress, so the loan moves with your build, not against it.

Built for developers and experienced builders who want a direct lender that understands construction timelines, change orders, and how to underwrite a project that doesn't exist yet.

At a glance

Key highlights

Typical Ground-Up terms — exact pricing depends on builder experience, plan, and market.

Why Kyon for Ground-Up

Construction lending without the friction.

Structured draws

Clear draw schedule matched to your build phases. Submitted Monday, funded Wednesday.

Up to 90% LTC

High leverage on land + construction combined for experienced builders.

We speak construction

Underwriters who understand sub-trades, change orders, and weather delays.

Roll into a DSCR rental or sell upon completion. We map the exit before the first dig.

Honest fit

Is Ground-Up right for you?

Good fit if you...

  • Own (or are buying) the land and have permits in hand
  • Have an experienced builder or GC lined up
  • Want a single facility covering land + construction
  • Have a realistic budget and timeline (6–18 months)

Probably not for you if...

  • You're rehabbing existing structures (Fix & Flip is the fit)
  • Permits and entitlements aren't finalized yet
  • You'll occupy the home as your primary residence
  • You're a first-time builder with no GC support
The fine print, plainly
