The ever-prolific team at Lancaster Pollard closed two more HUD financings on the back of their impressive $610.4 million haul during the 232 Lean program’s fiscal year 2018, which placed them second in terms of volume among the Lean lenders.

The hospital purchased the property in January 2018 with the help of a $6 million bridge loan provided by Lancaster Pollard Finance Co. that was underwritten concurrently with the HUD refinance.

There’s a new king of the HUD 232 Lean program. KeyBank Real Estate Capital unseated long-time leader Lancaster Pollard (which had topped the list since 2010 in terms of dollar volume) after closing $812.7 million in loans in FY2018, a record for single-year volume in the program and up 144% from the firm’s FY2017 volume. In that time, KeyBank also closed the largest single-asset HUD loan in history when it secured a $127 million loan for a 499-bed skilled nursing facility in New York City. Lancaster Pollard still reported an impressive $610.4 million in loan closings (good enough for second place), while Capital Funding took third place with $466.0 million.
