About Mezzanine Loans in Connecticut

In Connecticut, 8 lenders currently offer Mezzanine financing with loan amounts from $1M to $100M and rates typically ranging from 10% - 18%.
Connecticut Market Overview
Connecticut is home to numerous insurance company headquarters and hedge fund offices, particularly in the Stamford-Greenwich corridor. The state's proximity to New York City creates spillover demand for suburban office and industrial space.
Connecticut's judicial foreclosure process is among the lengthiest in the nation, often taking 18 to 36 months, which affects distressed asset recovery timelines for CRE lenders. The state imposes a real estate conveyance tax of up to 2.25% on sales over $800,000, which increases transaction costs for commercial properties. Fairfield County benefits from corporate relocations out of Manhattan, while the state's Opportunity Zone program has attracted investment to cities like Hartford, New Haven, and Bridgeport.
