Flood Insurance Coverage Conundrum
04/21/2008
We have financed the construction of a six story condominium building that is located in a flood zone. Our borrower is a commercial entity and for our purpose, the project is a commercial development. Our borrower has obtained $250,000 of flood insurance coverage, however, we are requiring $500,000 which is the maximum available for commercial property through FEMA. The borrower's insurance company has been unable to increase the policy. The insurance company states that the building is residential in nature since the end result will be a condo building. The insurance agent has tried to convince the insurance company that it is really a commercial property and has been unsuccessful in this argument. Do you have any suggestions or solutions for our insurance conundrum?
