Adaptive Reuse Escrows: Transforming California Properties

California’s adaptive reuse boom, converting offices to housing, warehouses to retail, demands specialized escrow solutions. At Secured Trust Escrow, we manage complex funding releases for conversion projects annually. As California’s most experienced adaptive reuse escrow provider, we handle:

  • State grant disbursements tied to affordable housing quotas
  • Phased contractor payments upon permit approvals
  • Environmental remediation holdbacks
  • Historic preservation compliance releases

Developers choose us because: Our escrow officers include former building inspectors who understand California’s unique regulations.
