Developer Surety
Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) and Private Development of Low/Affordable Housing Projects
As part of the financing package on many private low/affordable income housing developments, one or more of the owners or lenders may require a performance and payment bond be posted by the contractor and/or developer. Oftentimes, when the developer and contractor are owned by similar parties, it can create underwriting issues for the surety. The bond often acts as the lender’s collateral while the project is being built. It guarantees completion of the finished building.
Subdivision/Completion Bonds
Developers are often required to post subdivision bonds to a municipality in order to guarantee the installation of improvements that will ultimately be dedicated for public use. Subdivision bonds are different from normal construction performance bonds in that most of these obligations are self‐funded. The knowledge of developers, financing, real estate and construction is required. We have specialized underwriters for this class of business for the following:
• Site Improvement Bonds
• Subdivision Bonds
• Completion Bonds
• Escrow Deposit Bonds
• Bonds for Developers and Contractors on Low Income Housing Tax Credit Projects
