While a JV is not a direct alternative to traditional bank financing, it helps developers bridge the funding gap. Banks typically offer a Loan-to-Value (LTV) of 75%, so developers must either invest the remaining 25% themselves, which is often impractical, or bring in an investor to contribute around 20% ( which corresponds of 80% of total equity ), reducing their own equity requirement to just 5%. Our approach facilitates this structure, making large-scale projects more feasible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In that example, the total project cost was $100M. We secured a bank to provide a $75M construction loan and brought in a JV investor for $20M, meaning the developer only needed to contribute $5M instead of $25M.
