Horizontal Funding for Any Construction Project
Unlock 20% – 25% of Your Project Capital Stack
Ambro works with developers and local municipalities to establish Improvement Districts that provide upfront funding for construction projects.
Eligible Uses of Funds
- Land Acquisition
- Horizontal Improvements
- Soft Costs
- Property Enhancements
- Community Benefits & Public Amenities
How It Works
Improvement Districts are public financing programs created through a local municipality’s (City or County) statutory process. These districts generate upfront capital through municipal bond sales, which are repaid over time through an additional increase in property taxes.
Key Advantages
- Funding provided upfront
- No Financial Burden to the City, County, or State
- Repayment through additional property taxes over 20–30 years
- Not a private loan, mortgage, or lien
- Senior lenders remain in first position
- Land remains free & clear post bond funding
- Ideal alternative to equity or down payment capital
- Effective cost of capital is comparable to a 4%–6% loan
- Proceeds can also be used to reimburse Developers for costs they fronted.
Simple 3-Step Process
- Petition the City or County (Day 1)
- Obtain Resolution/Approval (2–6 Weeks)
- Municipality Sells Bonds (30–45 Days)
- Close & Receive Funding
⏱ Typical completion timeline: 60–90 Days
(Dependent on municipality approval timelines.)
Benefits to Developers & Senior Lenders
- Non-recourse financing
- Not carried as developer debt
- Bond proceeds deposited into the Improvement District’s bank account (cash).
- Funds will strengthen the developer’s balance sheet
- Can satisfy lender equity or down payment requirements
- Helps secure additional senior financing for the remainder of the project
