Lancaster Pollard Refinances Oregon Memory Care Community

Lancaster Pollard Refinances Oregon Memory Care Community

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.

That should make for a busy 2017. Read More »

Bridge with Love

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 »
