Bridge The Gap With Us

Gap Investors Ltda is a Costa Rican company (Registration No. 3-102-258902), incorporated in 2000, specializing in brokering syndicated loans, which are loans offered by a group of lenders, to provide funds for a borrower for real estate development in Costa Rica secured by borrower equity.

Simply put, gap financing, otherwise known as bridge financing or interim financing, allows developers with equity to "bridge the gap" to the point where conventional bank loans are available. Borrowers who own real estate with high development potential can use gap financing to get their projects off the ground quickly and reach the point where an established bank will finance their projects at conventional interest rates.

Gap Investors brings years of experience in investing in Costa Rica, with legal, marketing and development expertise working to make your investment pay off.

The key elements of bridge financing are:

1. Length of time
2. Location
3. Amount of funds required
4. Nature of transaction
5. Terms and conditions of transactions
6. Underlying market for the assets involved
7. Financial strength of the borrower

While open to opportunities wherever they can be found, Gap has focused on scenarios in which it has demonstrated expertise in gap or bridge financing. We provide a unique private financing alternative to developers and operators, enabling them to seize new opportunities and/or add value to their existing projects. Thanks to the hands-on development background and experience of our principals, we specialize in non-conventional situations usually requiring quick closings.
