Why Most Lenders Have Compliance Gaps They Don't Know About
Commercial construction loan documentation gaps aren’t typically obvious until after a draw disbursement goes wrong or a borrower walks off a project and the loan documents don’t give the lender a clear path forward.
With $706 billion in CRE originations in 2025 and $875 billion in commercial mortgages maturing in 2026, more construction deals are hitting lenders’ desks than they’ve seen in years. With more volume comes more complexity, however, making it imperative for commercial lenders to have documentation built to handle it.
