Home Construction Loans

Building a dream home can be complex – financing it shouldn’t be.

Get flexible financing to help build your new home.

This loan takes care of your project from start to finish.


We offer two types of convenient and competitive home construction loan programs that are designed to take you from purchasing your lot, through building your home, to providing you with a permanent mortgage with flexible financing terms. You can also receive a 0.125% rate discount* with this loan program.

One-Time Close Construction
Two-Time Close Construction
  • Saves time and money with only one application and closing

  • Lock in the interest rate before construction begins

  • Take advantage of a 12-month interest only construction period

  • Make interest-only payments on the loan during the construction period

  • Requalification not required after initial loan closing

  • Eligible property types include single family, manufactured and modular
  • Close on the construction loan to purchase a lot and build your home

  • Apply to refinance the construction loan into the permanent financing that fits your needs after construction

  • Choice of permanent end-loan financing for which you qualify (FHA, VA, USDA or conventional)

Disclosures

*Eligibility requires you to fund your monthly payments with an Atlantic Union Bank deposit account.

A licensed contractor is required to build your home. When applicable, property and flood insurance are required prior to the start of construction. This is not a commitment to lend or extend credit. All loans, credit and collateral are subject to approvals. Terms, rates, data, programs, information and conditions are subject to change without notice. Not all loans or products are available in all states. Specific program restrictions may apply, so please consult your dedicated Mortgage Loan Officer for complete details.

Payment example: with a $500,000 loan amount, a loan balance of $250,000 with 80% financing on a One-Time Construction Close Loan at 6.50%, the interest only monthly payment would be $1,354.17 for 12 months. The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) would be 6.568%. This type of construction loan transaction will convert to permanent financing at the end of the 12-month interest only phase. As an example: with a $500,000 loan amount, 80% financing, 30-year fixed-rate and an interest rate of 6.5%, your monthly payment would be $3,160.34. The APR would be 6.568%. These examples do not include an escrow account for taxes and hazard insurance. Actual payment obligation will be greater if an escrow account is established.
