Lancaster Pollard Refinances Oregon Memory Care Community

by | Jan 27, 2020 9:02 am | Financings

Giza Development successfully refinanced its new 45-unit/bed memory care community in McMinnville, Oregon (45 miles south of Portland), with the help of Ross Holland of Lancaster Pollard. Managed by Senior Development Resources, the community is located across the street from McMinnville’s full-service hospital and between two medical office parks. Sounds pretty ideal. It was initially refinanced with a bridge loan provided by OREC Structured Finance Co., which allowed Giza to buy out investors in the property and refinance construction debt. It was also immediately eligible for a permanent refinance. So, Lancaster Pollard secured a $4.9 million loan though HUD with a favorable, long-term... Read More »

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 »
