Bonds are a form of debt issued by governments, corporates, municipalities and other entities to raise money. These bonds typically have an expiration date and must be repaid with part of the profits to investors once a project’s completion has been achieved.
Bonds can be an attractive financing option for large construction projects, but they require special knowledge and comprehension of the industry. Furthermore, they come with higher interest rates than traditional loans from banks.
At the end of a bond’s term, its issuer promises to pay its bondholders a specified amount. Interest is typically paid semiannually or annually throughout its lifespan and is called “coupon”. Coupon amounts typically correspond to a percentage of par value (face value) of the bond.
Bonds such as these can be utilized for any type of property development, but are particularly suitable for industrial development, high-tech projects, retail sales, commercial activity, multi-family residences or hotels. As these bonds have a maturity period of 20 years or longer – making them tax exempt investments ideal for long term plans.
Bonds are often used to fund affordable housing. Developers can use these bonds to borrow money to construct apartments and condominiums for people in low-income neighborhoods, with the developer agreeing to set aside a certain percentage of units for these individuals and making mortgage payments to investors who purchased the bonds.
Another type of bond is a property advancement guarantee, which involves three parties: the owner/developer of land, the municipality and a surety bond company. This assurance guarantees that they will be able to finish construction of public improvements such as streets, curbs, sidewalks and sewers.
These bonds can be challenging to underwrite and some surety bond markets have had disappointing losses with certain projects. The surety bond company may require the contractor to submit financial data such as balance sheets, financial statements and tax returns; they may even request a letter from the bank confirming they have secured financing for the venture.
