Commercial loan landscape in Arizona (high-level snapshot)

Arizona’s commercial lending market is active but increasingly disciplined. Lenders remain attracted to the state’s population and business growth, but underwriting has tightened compared to prior years. Credit decisions now place greater weight on cash-flow durability, expense control, and realistic assumptions around rent growth and exit liquidity.

What lenders are most comfortable financing

Industrial and logistics assets are among the most lender-favored property types in Arizona, particularly in the Phoenix metro and along major transportation corridors. Modern facilities with strong tenant demand and longer lease terms underwrite best.

Owner-occupied properties continue to be highly financeable, especially when supported by established operating businesses with consistent historical cash flow.

Stabilized multifamily can still obtain financing when occupancy and collections are solid, though lenders closely review recent rent growth trends and operating expenses.

Service-based and necessity retail (medical, grocery-adjacent, personal services) remains lender-friendly when tenant quality and lease durability are strong.

Where underwriting gets tougher

Office is the most challenging asset class statewide. Many lenders require lower leverage and focus on well-located, higher-quality buildings with strong existing tenancy.

New-construction and value-add multifamily deals face heavier scrutiny due to recent supply increases and slower rent growth in certain submarkets.

Refinances can be difficult when existing loans were originated at significantly lower interest rates and current cash flow struggles to support higher debt service.

Market-by-market dynamics (how lenders tend to think)

Phoenix Metro: The deepest lender pool and most competitive pricing for strong deals. Industrial remains the strongest asset class, multifamily is selective, and office faces the greatest resistance.

Tucson: Viewed as more stable and affordable, with better lender appetite for owner-occupied properties, workforce housing, and essential retail.

Secondary and outlying markets: Financing is available, but lenders often cap leverage lower due to smaller buyer pools and perceived liquidity risk.

Who is lending in Arizona (and what that means for terms)

Regional and national banks are active but conservative, often favoring stabilized assets and experienced borrowers.

Credit unions can be competitive for owner-occupied and smaller-balance loans.

Life companies and institutional lenders focus on larger, stabilized properties with long-term income visibility.

Debt funds and non-bank lenders fill gaps for transitional deals or higher leverage needs, typically at higher cost.

Key underwriting themes unique to Arizona

Expense sensitivity is a major underwriting focus. Utilities, insurance, and maintenance costs are carefully stressed.

Water availability and infrastructure considerations are increasingly reviewed, particularly for development and value-add projects.

Sponsor liquidity and experience play a significant role in approval decisions.

What “good” looks like to an Arizona lender right now

A strong Arizona loan request typically includes conservative leverage, defensible historical NOI, stable tenancy, and experienced sponsorship.

Deals reliant on aggressive rent growth or short-term exit assumptions tend to face tighter terms.

Bottom line

Arizona is a capital-available but underwriting-driven lending environment. Industrial and owner-occupied properties provide the clearest paths to financing, while office and supply-sensitive multifamily segments face more conservative terms.
