Berkadia’s Seniors Housing & Healthcare Group has been hard at work with HUD deals so far this summer, with over $50 million in closings in June and July.

Berkadia’s Ed Williams secured supplemental financing through HUD for a skilled nursing facility in Florida.

The addition is expected to open this summer.... Read More »
