Builders Capital Secures $500 Million Partnership as Specialty Finance Giants Back Construction Lending Play

The residential construction financing sector is witnessing significant momentum, with Builders Capital closing a major capital partnership with InterVest Capital Partners. The collaboration unlocks up to $500 million in growth capital, positioning the nation’s largest private construction lender to capitalize on the persistent housing supply-demand imbalance across the U.S. homebuilding market.

The Market Opportunity Behind the Deal

Builders Capital has been instrumental in serving the residential construction industry for over 15 years, filling a critical gap in private lending to homebuilders and developers. The current housing market presents a compelling backdrop: limited supply of new single-family homes continues to drive demand for flexible construction financing solutions. By securing this capital commitment, Builders Capital is well-positioned to become the preferred lending partner throughout the homebuilding ecosystem.

Capital Accumulation Strategy

The recent partnership represents part of a broader capital strategy. Over the past twelve months, Builders Capital has accumulated nearly $3 billion in capital commitments across multiple partnerships. This aggressive capital gathering underscores the strength of the company’s platform and its proven track record in construction lending operations. InterVest Capital Partners, a global alternative investment firm with over $19 billion in aggregate committed capital since 1999, brings substantial expertise in structured finance and asset-based lending verticals.

What the Partnership Means

InterVest’s equity stake signals confidence in Builders Capital’s expansion potential. The growth capital will fuel platform scaling efforts while supporting the company’s mission to provide innovative financing solutions—including acquisition, development, construction, and bridge financing—to developers across the country.

Builders Capital operates from headquarters in Puyallup, Washington, with an East Coast base in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and maintains regional sales offices nationwide. Beyond traditional lending, the platform offers borrowers access to material purchase discount networks and technology tools for project management and accounting.

Leadership Perspective

The management team collectively brings over 100 years of specialized expertise in residential construction lending and real estate development. This deep industry knowledge, combined with fresh capital and InterVest’s specialty finance capabilities, creates a compelling foundation for market expansion during a period of sustained homebuilding demand.
