Specialized Underwriting

How do lenders underwrite life sciences and wet lab financing in San Diego?

Lenders evaluate specialized tenant improvement infrastructure (HVAC air changes, emergency back-up power, plumbing redundancies), lease term duration, and corporate balance sheet credit.

Given the higher capital expenditures of wet lab buildouts, debt facilities often incorporate structured capex holdbacks and leasing commission reserves.
