Mixed-Use Property Financing

Mixed-use properties bring together residential, retail, and office uses to create vibrant, walkable environments. AVANA Companies offers conventional mixed-use property loans for stabilized assets with diversified income streams, helping sponsors acquire, refinance, or enhance properties that anchor neighborhoods and town centers. Investors gain access to collateral-backed exposure across multiple use types in a single asset.

Flexible Financing for Mixed-Use Properties

Mixed-use properties can create enduring value by integrating living, working, and shopping in a single location. They often occupy infill or main-street locations with strong walkability and neighborhood amenities. Underwriting these assets requires understanding the interplay between residential demand, retail performance, and office or service tenancy.
AVANA structures mixed-use loans to reflect this complexity while keeping terms straightforward for borrowers. Our focus is on stabilized or near-stabilized properties where rents and occupancy support sustainable debt service, and where sponsors have a clear strategy for long-term ownership and improvements.

For Investors: Why Mixed-Use Loans Matter

Mixed-use loans provide:
