Next scheduled review: 2026-09-14

land financing in Regina prices off the Government of Canada 5-year benchmark bond yield plus a 525 bps land financing spread, landing at 8.40% indicative. Pre-development debt secured by raw or serviced land inventory. On the $2,600,000 average Regina transaction, a 50% advance is $1,300,000, carrying $124,566 of annual debt service on a 0-year amortization and a 2-year term.

Leverage binds before coverage here. The wide 6.9% cap rate produces roughly $179,400 of NOI, enough for $1,560,218 at a 0.00x floor — about $260,218 above what the 50% LTV cap will advance. The deal is sized by value, so the appraisal, not the rent roll, is the document to get right first.

Regina scores 100 on the Capitalor Lender Density Score — a deep market, with 19 tracked lenders and brokers against 6,200 commercial buildings. Expect competitive tension on well-covenanted paper: quote at least three lenders before accepting a spread.

Stress the file before a lender does. Holding the $1,300,000 loan constant, coverage falls to the 0.00x floor at roughly 10.70% — 2.30% of headroom above today's indicative rate. That headroom, not the headline rate, is what determines whether this Regina deal survives renewal.

ActQuestions

What rate should I expect on land financing in Regina?

8.40% indicative — the Government of Canada 5-year benchmark bond yield plus a 525 bps land financing spread. Individual quotes move with covenant strength, asset quality, and sponsor track record, and Regina's deep lender market widens or narrows that dispersion.

How large a loan does a typical Regina deal support?

On the $2,600,000 average transaction, a 50% advance is $1,300,000. Coverage separately caps the loan at $1,560,218 using $179,400 of NOI against a 0.00x floor, so the binding number is $1,300,000.

Does coverage or leverage bind first on this product in Regina?

Leverage. NOI supports about $1,560,218, more than the 50% LTV cap will advance, so proceeds are set by the appraisal rather than the rent roll.

Why is the coverage floor only 0.00x?

Insurance or structural credit support lets land financing clear at a lower coverage floor than conventional term debt. It buys proceeds, not safety: at 8.40% the deal still breaks coverage near 10.70%.

What is the annual debt service at that loan amount?

$124,566 per year — $10,381 monthly on a 0-year amortization at 8.40%, against a 2-year term.

How much rate headroom is there before the deal breaks coverage?

Roughly 2.30%. Holding the loan and NOI constant, coverage reaches the 0.00x floor at about 10.70% — the number that matters at renewal.

How many lenders write this product in Regina?

Capitalor tracks 19 active lenders and brokers in Regina, a Lender Density Score of 100 against 6,200 commercial buildings — a deep market.
