MassDevelopment

MassDevelopment offers financing and real estate solutions to support the growth of businesses and nonprofits across Massachusetts. Our financing capabilities can help your project at every stage, from predevelopment to construction-to-permanent financing.

  • Tax-exempt bonds help you finance projects at the lowest possible rates. A bond can be sold on the capital markets or placed directly with a borrower’s bank as the lender.
  • Commercial loans help you renovate or build commercial, industrial, or residential rental real estate or purchase equipment. Advance rates can be up to 90% for real estate and 100% for new manufacturing equipment. Term working capital loans are also available for manufacturing and technology companies.
  • Guarantees are financing mechanisms that help primary lenders advance larger loans against collateral for real estate and equipment projects.
