Lancaster Pollard Lands Financing For Nonprofit Clients
Lancaster Pollard showed its strength in agency funding, closing over $40 million in financing to help a couple of not-for-profit clients expand their services. First, in Osceola, Wisconsin, Brad Competty led the way in closing a $7.1 million HUD refinance on behalf of Christian Community Homes, a senior care provider in western Wisconsin (Minneapolis-St. Paul MSA). Originally built in 1981 as a skilled nursing facility, CCH expanded its Hudson, WI campus over the years to include senior apartments (opened in 1986), assisted living (1993) and memory care (2009). More recently, in 2011, the organization expanded on a new campus in Osceola with a 40-bed skilled nursing facility and a 20-bed... Read More »Aron Will and Avanti Senior Living

Make Way For Watercrest Senior Living Group
Experience matters when it comes to seniors housing development, especially as newcomers and new money are joining the fray. We’ve all heard cries of overdevelopment in certain markets, which can lead to a host of issues for the industry, including falling occupancy, discounted rents and staff retention. Having so many new entrants to the market may only magnify their mistakes, creating some bad PR for the industry. But successfully navigating these choppy waters have been the experienced principals of Watercrest Senior Living Group (WSLG), Marc Vorkapich and Joan Williams. Since its 2012 founding, WSLG has grown steadily, with four communities open so far in Florida, all of which have... Read More »LCB Senior Living Brings Its Luxury Brand to Fairfield County
LCB Senior Living has already established itself as a luxury provider of assisted living/memory care services in New England, with 11 communities in Massachusetts, three in Vermont, two each in Connecticut and New Hampshire, and one in Rhode Island. The developer also has two construction projects in Massachusetts and one in New Hampshire. But now, LCB is taking its luxury brand to the high-income and high-cost Fairfield County for the first time, with two developments in Stamford and Darien, Connecticut (both about 45 miles from New York City).

James Vanar of Love Funding arranged a $6.8 million bridge loan for a new assisted living/memory care development in South Jordan, Utah. Giza Development leads the team, including Stout Construction and Primera Group, developing the 62-bed community, which will be operated by SAL Management Group. Midland States Bank, the parent company of Love, provided what is now the second loan for Giza (the first was for a development in Ogden, Utah in 2016). Since its launch in May 2015, Love Funding’s bridge lending platform has financed more than $153 million in closings and has another $220 million in loans in the pipeline. That should make for a busy 2017. Read More »Schedule a demo
