Amerant Bank (Coral Gables HQ)

Funding the Industrial Expansion

As Miami's population explodes, demand for mid-rise multi-family and logistical warehouses has skyrocketed. Amerant Bank (formerly Mercantil Bank) sits at the center of this boom, providing structured capital for apartment complexes and industrial distribution centers.

For operational GCs and specialty trades, Amerant offers dedicated equipment leasing and loan programs — acquiring excavators, cranes, and fleet vehicles without draining working capital.

The ConstructionPerks Take

We think Amerant Bank is best for: Mid-market Commercial Developers and GCs who focus on multi-family, industrial warehousing, and need strategic heavy equipment financing.

One thing to think about is their target market. They are a sophisticated commercial bank — if you're a boutique residential remodeler seeking a small unsecured line, a credit union might offer more flexibility.
