Tailored financing supports acquisition and construction of transformative project amid rising demand in California’s Central Valley.

LOS ANGELES, Flexi-view Lending has closed a $14.25 million commercial loan to fund the acquisition and construction of a high-potential development in Fresno, California, further cementing the lender’s reputation for flexible, developer-focused capital solutions.

Structured as a 38-month, interest-only loan with a competitive rate of 11.55%, the financing was originated by Flexi-view’s James McDonough and designed with borrower flexibility at its core. The loan features a non-recourse structure and no prepayment penalty terms that are becoming increasingly rare in today’s tighter credit market.

“This deal exemplifies our ability to execute quickly and creatively for experienced sponsors seeking tailored capital for complex projects,” said McDonough. “Fresno is experiencing strong demand, and we’re proud to support its next chapter of growth through smart, strategic financing.”

Strategic Financing for a Growing Market

The project’s location Fresno, the economic heart of California’s Central Valley is seeing a surge in real estate activity, driven by migration trends, logistics expansion, and a rising need for mixed-use and residential developments. This context made the deal a priority for Flexi-view, which has been actively expanding its footprint in undercapitalized but high-growth secondary markets.

With its interest-only amortization and absence of early repayment restrictions, the loan structure gives the developer freedom to focus on construction timelines and leasing strategies without the financial drag of premature debt service or inflexible terms.

A Lender with a Niche

Flexi-view Lending has carved out a distinctive niche in the commercial real estate finance landscape by offering quick turnarounds, high-leverage options, and bespoke deal structures. The firm’s model appeals to seasoned sponsors engaged in value-add and ground-up development projects that often struggle to fit within the traditional banking mold.

This Fresno transaction is the latest in a series of non-bank lending deals Flexi-view has closed across the West Coast, underscoring the growing role of private capital in bridging the financing gap for dynamic real estate ventures.

“At a time when many lenders are pulling back or applying rigid underwriting standards, we’re proud to remain agile and relationship-driven,” said McDonough.

Looking Ahead

As developers across the country navigate interest rate volatility and shifting market fundamentals, creative lending solutions like this one are proving critical. For Fresno, a city on the cusp of transformative growth, the loan represents not just a real estate opportunity, but a signal of confidence in its long-term trajectory.
