TIF Plans: Construction Phase Commercial Real Estate Project Funding


Creating a TIF Plan is subject to some considerations you need to know about before you proceed full-steam ahead.  The considerations you need to understand include:

  • Litigation.  The filing of a TIF plan frequently attract litigation and it can be a very long process.  This impacts budget planning as a significantly higher amount of project carrying costs must be reconciled by the developer or owner/operator (as the case may be).

  • Funds Availability.  Availability of funds from a TIF Plan are also a financing consideration.  The prototypical TIF plan provides funds upon completion of construction to insulate the bond holders from construction risk.  This means you need to get a construction loan or bridge loan to provide for construction phase expenditures.  Pre-construction phase project financing is not typically possible using the TIF Plan approach.  You have to budget the direct, indirect and carrying costs of the project.

  • Entitlements.  TIF Plans may be used in tandem with other local, state and/or federal incentives to provide a higher level of financial investment leverage.  This means that you need to have an entitlements review completed to see if NMTCs, Brownfields, Historical and other tax credits and/or tax-advantaged investment incentives can be brought to bear for your benefit.  (we hope you will retain RMC for this review)
