HUD Lean Volume Hits an All-Time High
The HUD LEAN program had quite a fiscal year 2019, topping $3.7 billion in transaction volume across 288 transactions. The transaction number may be 1% down from the 292 closings in FY2018, but the dollar volume is up 3.6% to reach a record high for the program. HUD used to be the “lender of last resort,” but given the attractiveness of the debt (where else can you get a sub-3% rate for a 30+ year term?), it’s no wonder the program is growing like gangbusters. ORIX Real Estate Capital/Lancaster Pollard put their combined resources to work this year, closing an impressive $903.8 million in HUD closings, with 78 total transactions. That kind of dollar volume hasn’t been seen before, even... Read More »
Lancaster Pollard Refinances Denver-Area Portfolio
Applewood Our House worked with Lancaster Pollard to refinance its entire portfolio of memory care communities in the Denver, Colorado market. The five memory care communities are all on the smaller side, totaling 76 units across the portfolio. They were built between 2007 and 2018 and range in size from 10 to 16 units with a mix of private and shared rooms.

Those extra care charges, while sometimes necessary to keep the community profitable, can often be an unwelcome surprise to... Read More »
Propero’s Second Tender Loving Care Deal
Lancaster Pollard’s Propero Seniors Housing Equity Fund teamed up with Tender Loving Care Management (TLC) for the second time to provide equity for a to-be-built senior living community in Florida. Three years ago, Propero helped finance the construction of a $63 million, 242-bed project in Ocala that was going to offer assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing services. BMO Harris Bank provided a $30 million construction loan, while Propero fronted the equity that minimizes TLC’s own upfront capital requirements but at the same time provides a clear path to ownership. For the most recent project in Brooksville, Florida, Propero again provided equity to complement a bank loan to... Read More »
Lancaster Pollard Secures Another Agemark/Protective Life Financing
Grant Goodman, Doug Harper and Casey Moore of Lancaster Pollard worked on behalf of Agemark Senior Living Communities to refinance its 36-unit memory care community in Kearney, Nebraska. Placed with Protective Life Insurance Company, the $8 million term loan also allowed Agemark to extract equity from the property. The parties involved in this transaction have been seeing a lot of each other in the past year. Lancaster Pollard and Agemark have worked together to close three transactions through Protective Life in that time. Most recently, Agemark refinanced two other Nebraska memory care communities with 10-year, fixed-rate financings. Read More »Schedule a demo
