PGIM Arranges Two HUD Refinances
PGIM’s Seniors Housing and Healthcare Group arranged refinances for two seniors housing communities in the Southeast, the third and fourth properties refinanced for the same client during the pandemic.

CBRE Finances Active Adult Development in Chicagoland
A new active adult development that is set to break ground just received financing courtesy of CBRE and a national bank.

The to-be-built community is located in Chicagoland and will feature around 190 units. It is considered to be “A” quality, which we imagine are easier projects for lenders to get behind right now, especially with an active developer in the space. A national bank provided the loan, which comes with a five-year term, 42 months of interest only and a floating... Read More »
