Pre-development debt secured by raw or serviced land inventory. Capitalor does not publish a lender rate for land financing in Calgary. The scenario on this page starts from the GoC 5-year benchmark of 3.60% observed on 2026-10-07 plus an illustrative 525 bps spread, giving a 8.85% scenario rate. Replace it with a real quote as soon as you have one.
On a hypothetical $5,000,000 property, a 50% advance is $2,500,000. With no coverage floor in the scenario, leverage alone sets proceeds, and annual interest-and-principal cost at 8.85% is $221,250.
This product has no coverage floor in the scenario, so there is no break-even rate to solve; proceeds are set by leverage and exit value.
