Construction Loans
From our very inception over 125 years ago, we have been the area’s go-to construction lender of choice. So much so that we’re known as “The Builder’s Bank,” a title we happily embrace.
Our sterling reputation has been built through being a responsive, reliable partner for companies and firms in the construction sector. One of the central reasons we are able to deliver on our reputation is that our Credit Committee meets at least twice a week and our Security Committee meets daily. This means that our customers get their loans approved and closed faster, construction inspections are completed in a more timely manner and construction funds are disbursed more promptly. Additionally, we offer construction loan amounts up to 80% of acquisition cost and 100% of construction cost. And as a client of Needham Bank, you’ll have 24/7 access to your loan officer as well as concierge levels of banking services.
Put simply, we offer unprecedented convenience, accessibility, and flexibility to clients.
