Lancaster Pollard didn’t rest on its laurels for long. After HUD announced that Lancaster Pollard beat out all other HUD LEAN lenders in both number of transactions (79) and loan volume (nearly $770 million), the firm closed another HUD loan on behalf of Premier Senior Living. A group of seven of its senior care facilities in the Southeast were previously financed with bonds from a national bank that were set to mature in the fall of 2017.

So, Ross Holland and Jason Dopoulos of Lancaster Pollard arranged a $47.1 million loan to refinance the portfolio, which included orchestrating a master lease and debt allocation for four of the communities. The loan also funds replacement reserves for repairs and improvements. Talk about a strong start to the new fiscal year.
