A financing fit for a Queen
A CCRC in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle has plans to add more independent living units as well as a two-story assisted living/memory care building, and is partnering with Ziegler to help finance it. The not-for-profit community opened in 1961 and currently features 124 IL units, 45 AL units and 50 skilled nursing beds, in addition to an intergenerational childcare center. To expand their efforts, Ziegler closed a $57.46 million un-rated, fixed rate bond issue for the CCRC.

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. The loan, which was provided by Love’s parent company Midland States Bank, is expected to be taken out in three years by a HUD refinance. 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
