$7.2M High-LTV Commercial Mortgage for Aerospace Facility in Vancouver

Client: Vancouver-Based Defence Aerospace Manufacturer Facility acquisition financed with high loan-to-value mortgage to secure operations 

Property Value: $8,000,000 

Loan Amount: $7,200,000 (90% LTV)

A leading aerospace applications manufacturer specializing in defence technologies faced an imminent lease expiry on its production facility in Vancouver. The threat of losing the site posed serious risks to operational continuity and future growth plans. Despite strong financials and consistent cash flows, conventional lenders were hesitant to offer high loan-to-value financing on a specialized industrial property.

As a trusted Vancouver mortgage broker, Syndicate Lending Corporation crafted a tailored commercial mortgage acquisition financing package that included:

Property Price: $8,000,000 Loan-to-Value: 90% mortgage at 7.80% fixed rate

Structure: Interest-only mortgage payments for the first year

By providing detailed financial forecasts, tenant-mix strategies, and demonstrating the client’s proven track record in defence-grade manufacturing, SLC secured lender approval for 90% financing—minimizing the client’s upfront capital requirement.

The client closed the facility acquisition loan with only 10% equity and immediately leased 25% of the facility to complementary high-tech tenants. This generated passive income that helped offset commercial mortgage costs.

Owning the facility protected the manufacturer from lease uncertainties and rent increases, freeing up cash flow for research, development, and business expansion. The interest-only structure in the first year allowed the client to redeploy working capital into new product lines and scaling operations, driving both revenue growth and improved margins.

SLC’s innovative aerospace facility financing solution anchored the client’s growth and secured their home base for continued innovation.
