How do mezzanine loans work in Utah?
Mezzanine loans are subordinate real estate loans secured by a pledge of the borrower's ownership interests rather than a mortgage lien on the property itself. Borrowers use them when the senior lender's proceeds stop short and they want to reduce the common equity check. In Utah, 8 lenders currently offer Mezzanine financing with loan amounts from $1M to $100M and rates typically ranging from 6.75% - 11.97%.
What does the Utah market look like?
Utah's Silicon Slopes tech corridor has made the Salt Lake City-Provo area one of the nation's leading technology hubs, driving exceptional CRE demand. The state consistently ranks among the top states for business climate and economic growth.
Utah's commercial property tax is assessed at 100% of fair market value, but the state offers a 45% residential exemption that does not apply to commercial properties, creating a meaningful tax differential that affects mixed-use development economics. The state's Enterprise Zone Tax Credit program provides tax incentives for businesses investing in designated areas, primarily in rural Utah. Salt Lake City's limited developable land, constrained between the Wasatch Mountains and the Great Salt Lake, creates natural supply barriers that support commercial property values, while the inland port development west of the airport is opening significant new industrial and logistics opportunities.
