For years, construction lending has often been viewed as a transaction.

Secure financing.
Build the project.
Pay off the loan.
Move on to the next deal.

But the most successful builders know that's not how long-term growth happens.

The strongest projects, and the strongest businesses are built on partnerships.

That's exactly why we're proud to work alongside Aker Development, one of Portland's leading residential developers specializing in thoughtful multifamily and middle housing projects. Their disciplined approach to development, commitment to quality construction, and deep understanding of the Portland market make them exactly the kind of builder CoreVest is designed to support.

Watch the story behind the partnership below.

More Than a Construction Loan

Every ground-up construction project is a moving target.

Budgets evolve.
Contractors change.
Permits take time.
Inspections happen.
Schedules shift.

Financing is only one piece of keeping a project moving.

At CoreVest, we've built our Ground-Up Construction platform around the reality that successful projects require much more than capital.

That's why every project is supported by our dedicated in-house construction management team.

Before closing, our team reviews budgets, schedules, construction timelines and project strategy to identify potential issues before they become expensive delays.

Throughout construction, we continue monitoring progress while helping streamline the draw process so builders can stay focused on executing, not chasing paperwork.

Because successful construction projects require more than funding.

They require experience.

Why Relationships Matter

One of the things we value most at CoreVest is repeat business.

We're not interested in financing one successful project.

We're interested in helping experienced builders grow over years - not just providing capital.

That's why we love working with builders who have a long-term vision.

As our construction team often says:

"It's not just about this deal, but the next deal, and the deal after that."

That philosophy is what makes our relationship with Aker Development so rewarding.

Their team consistently demonstrates thoughtful planning, disciplined execution, proactive communication, and an unwavering commitment to building quality homes that strengthen the communities they serve. Those characteristics create trust, and trust creates the kind of partnership where both companies can continue growing together.

Built on Shared Values

CoreVest and Aker share a common belief:

Housing matters.

By combining Aker's local market expertise with CoreVest's specialized construction financing, dedicated construction management, and dependable execution, we're helping bring more thoughtfully designed housing to market while supporting the long-term success of experienced builders.

Because at the end of the day, our goal isn't simply to close another loan. It's to help our partners build more homes, create more opportunity, and continue growing together for years to come.
