Avenue One is a New York-based lender that supplies capital to homebuilders and land developers at every stage of a residential project, from land acquisition and site work through vertical construction and finished homes held for sale or rent. The firm lends nationwide, with construction loans typically starting near $500,000 and land development loans from $5 million. It earns interest on drawn balances under 12- to 24-month facilities and reports more than $3 billion of capital deployed.
Avenue One markets an advisory, relationship-led model: it sizes leverage, term, and any pre-sale requirement with the builder before close, then funds draws after one inspection per request. The team came out of single-family rental investing, having acquired, renovated, and managed homes and delivered more than $500 million of new construction product to institutional investors.
