First Mortgage Private Loan – $6.175 Million Secured Against DA-Approved Rose Bay Development Site

First Mortgage Private Loan Rose Bay – $6.175 Million Settlement

Assurity Capital has successfully settled a $6.175 million first mortgage private loan secured against a DA-approved residential development site in Rose Bay, one of Sydney's most prestigious harbourside suburbs.

The funding enabled the borrower to refinance an existing facility while releasing additional capital to complete pre-construction planning ahead of the project's construction phase.

With development approval already in place for three luxury whole-floor apartments, the site offers strong end-value potential in one of Australia's most tightly held residential markets.

Delivering the Right Finance at the Right Time

Obtaining finance against a development site before construction commences can often prove challenging through traditional lenders. Even with development approval secured, banks frequently require additional conditions before releasing funds, creating delays that can impact project timelines.

For this transaction, Assurity Capital structured a private lending solution that provided:

• Fast approval and settlement

• Refinancing of the existing facility

• Additional cash-out for pre-construction planning and project costs

• A flexible first mortgage facility aligned with the developer's construction program

• Funding at up to 65% Loan-to-Value Ratio (LVR)

The transaction allowed the client to move confidently into the next stage of the development without unnecessary funding delays.

First Mortgage Private Loan for DA-Approved Development Sites

DA-approved residential sites represent valuable opportunities, but they often require specialised funding solutions before construction finance is available.

Private lending can provide developers with the flexibility to:

• Refinance existing debt

• Release equity for project costs

• Fund consultants, planning and documentation

• Cover holding costs

• Prepare projects for construction finance

• Meet time-sensitive settlement obligations

Because private lenders assess the overall strength of the security and the proposed exit strategy, approvals can often be achieved significantly faster than through traditional banking channels.

Yes. Many private lenders, including Assurity Capital, can provide funding secured against DA-approved development sites to assist with refinancing, acquisitions or pre-construction costs.

What can pre-construction funding be used for?

Pre-construction funding may be used for consultant fees, working capital, planning costs, authority contributions, holding costs, documentation, marketing expenses and preparing a project for construction finance.

How quickly can a private development loan settle?

Private loans can often settle within days once due diligence has been completed, making them ideal for transactions requiring fast access to capital.

What loan-to-value ratio (LVR) is available?

LVR depends on the property, borrower profile and transaction. For this Rose Bay transaction, funding was provided at 65% LVR.
