Monarch Funds New Ohio Development
We haven’t seen much construction lending these days, with construction costs and interest rates rising, but Alec Blanc of Monarch Advisors secured an $18.9 million loan to fund a 105-unit/116-bed senior care project in Bowling Green, Ohio.

There are 50 skilled nursing beds, 34 assisted living/memory care units and 25 independent living units. Monarch secured a senior loan commitment from a... Read More »
