Description

A principal concern for the construction lender is that the borrower will fail to complete the project on budget, leaving the lender to oversee the construction and to fund cost overruns. Under a completion guaranty, the sponsor or other qualified third party agrees to complete the project and is responsible for the payment of cost overruns.

Construction lenders will typically include a carry component to the completion guaranty, and/or a separate carry guaranty, which requires the guarantor to pay debt service and other carry costs until the project is completed or reaches stabilization or until the loan is repaid.

Listen as our authoritative panel examines various aspects of completion guaranties and provisions that are high priority concerns for lenders and guarantors. The panel will also discuss provisions that can limit a guarantor's obligations under the guaranty and factors that might affect the ability of counsel to negotiate those provisions.
