Specialized Commericial Mortgage Solutions in Toronto
When it comes to commercial mortgages, every business has different needs. That is why Andrew Patricio and the AJP Mortgage team focus on finding the right solutions, not just standard products. Here is how they help:
Commercial Property Purchases
Whether you are buying an office, retail store, warehouse, or industrial unit, Andrew helps match you with lenders who understand your business goals. The right financing can make owning commercial property easier than you think.
Commercial Mortgage Refinancing
If your current loan feels too expensive or limiting, refinancing can reduce interest costs, improve cash flow, or free up equity for growth. Andrew makes sure you explore the best options without the stress.
Construction and Development Financing
Builders and developers face unique challenges with timelines, budgets, and approvals. Andrew works with lenders who specialize in construction financing so projects can move forward smoothly.
Investment Property Financing
From multi-unit residential buildings to mixed-use properties, Andrew helps investors access competitive financing that fits both short-term returns and long-term plans.
Business Expansion Loans
Growing businesses often need more space. Whether it is moving into a larger location or opening a second site, Andrew connects business owners with financing that makes expansion possible.
Bridge Financing
Sometimes you need funding fast to secure a property while waiting for long-term financing. Andrew helps arrange short-term bridge loans so opportunities are never missed.
Land Financing
Buying land for future development requires a different type of lender. Andrew knows how to structure these deals so investors and developers can secure land confidently.
Owner-Occupied Property Financing
Many business owners prefer to own the space they operate from. Andrew helps secure financing for shops, offices, and other spaces where you can run your business and build equity at the same time.
Debt Consolidation for Businesses
Multiple loans can strain cash flow. Andrew helps consolidate business debts into one manageable mortgage, often lowering costs and reducing financial stress.
