PacWest originates construction loans in both its National Lending and Community Banking groups. The National Lending (NL) construction department was started in early 2015 with the hiring of a seasoned team with multiple years of experience working together. NL originates primarily non or limited recourse, primarily up to 60% loan-to-cost loans to high quality, experienced, well-capitalized institutional sponsors for ground-up construction and major renovation projects. NL commitments have completion guaranties, debt service guaranties, recourse guaranties triggered by bad acts, and environmental indemnities. Typically these commitments are not funded until after substantially all borrower equity and subordinated debt has been invested and the cost to complete the project has been re-evaluated, reducing credit risk from construction costs being more than anticipated and/or construction taking longer than anticipated. NL considers projects in the top 25 MSAs where the senior team has experience, market knowledge and contacts. Current concentrations are in California, New York City and Washington DC. Community Banking (CB) originates construction loans primarily within Pacific Western Bank’s Southern California footprint. CB may advance up to 70% of cost, but on a full recourse basis to well-capitalized sponsors with whom the Bank has prior lending experience.
