A Construction Loan Escrow Agreement is a contract between a lending institution (such as a bank) and a borrower that outlines the terms of a loan used to finance the construction of a building or other structure. The Agreement establishes an escrow account that serves as a repository for the funds used to finance the construction. The Agreement typically includes provisions regarding the amount of the loan, the interest rate, the repayment terms, the security for the loan, and the roles of the parties in the loan. It may also include provisions related to the disbursement of funds, payments to contractors, and the use of any remaining funds at the completion of the construction. There are generally two types of Construction Loan Escrow Agreements: a “take-out” loan agreement, in which the lender agrees to provide a permanent loan to the borrower once construction is complete; and a “construction-only” loan agreement, in which the lender provides funds for the duration of the construction, and the borrower is responsible for obtaining a permanent loan at the end of the construction period.
