A new 62-bed assisted living/memory care community is being developed in Ogden, Utah with the help of a $6.63 million bridge construction loan arranged by James Vanar of Love Funding.

It also allows the developer, Utah-based Giza Development, to start the project sooner and begin accepting residents. Since introducing the bridge loan program in May 2015, Love has already financed over $65 million in bridge loans, not including $300 million of loans in its pipeline. Read More »Develop in Dover
