DFP Structures Land Bank Finance for Industrial Development at 60% LVR
Background An experienced entrepreneur and business owner with a diversified property investment portfolio approached DFP to refinance a high-cost private land bank loan on a semi regional industrial site in New South Wales. The client had secured a pre-lease with a specialised transport company and was progressing the required CDC approval. To maintain momentum, they needed a financier who understood niche industrial assets and could support both the immediate refinance and the future construction phase.
