    Ground Up Construction Loans in Albany – Secure Funding for Your Next Construction Project

    Albany’s development scene has entered a strong growth phase. From residential infill projects to mixed-use redevelopment projects, the city continues to attract investors who recognize its potential. Yet the biggest obstacle for builders and developers often isn’t the project itself, but the wait for funding.

    At Insula Capital Group, we make sure financing never holds your plans back. Our Ground Up Construction Loans in Albany are built for speed, flexibility, and reliability. Whether you’re purchasing land, beginning vertical construction, or refinancing mid-project, we offer funding options that provide liquidity and flexibility across all phases.

    Unlike traditional banks that focus on credit histories and rigid timelines, our loans are asset-based and centered on the value and potential of your project. That means fewer restrictions, faster approvals, and direct access to the capital you need!

    Bruce Hill and Insula Capital Group made my refinance seamless and worry free. My loan was a challenge for two other lenders who could not get it done. Bruce and the team at Insula were knowledgeable and efficient, plus gave me a great rate. I will recommend them to everyone.

    Chris and his team at Insula Capital have exceeded our expectations for lending servicing. The response time for calls and requests are very fast and prompt. Their vision camera application is an absolute lifesaver. Draw requests are completed swiftly. I will highly recommend Chris and his team to anyone looking for lending and funding.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Yes. Our construction loans are asset-based. We focus on the project, the budget, and the property’s value at completion. A less-than-perfect score does not automatically disqualify you.

    Once terms are accepted and diligence is complete, closings can occur in as little as 7–10 days. This timeline allows you to secure permits and start building without waiting months for a bank’s approval.

    Use the refinance option. We can size a new facility to the current project value, add funds for remaining work and holding costs, remove prepayment friction, and offer a path to rental or long-term financing after completion.
