We’re lenders — with a history of building.
One lender. From ground break to permanent.
We’ll fund the build, carry you through stabilization, and write the takeout loan — so you're never re-explaining your project to a new lender mid-cycle.

Oregon, Arizona, and coming soon to Idaho
We’ve been on your side of the table.
We've been licensed builders and developers — before we became lenders. We've run the draws, eaten the delays, and sat in the same committee meetings. Where most banks scan a project for problems, we look for the workaround that gets it funded.

About
We’re a team of senior construction lending specialists, commercial builders, real estate developers, financial advisors, and property owners who are still operators. We've carried the loan, poured the footings, signed the leases, and sat across from the committee. When your file comes to us, it's read by people who already know what it costs you when the answer is slow.

Chris Blackburn, Managing Member
Struo is Latin for I build — the root of construct and structure. It's the first thing we did, and it's why we lend the way we do.
