Ohio Memory Care Community Refinances with Lancaster Pollard

Ohio Memory Care Community Refinances with Lancaster Pollard

Lancaster Pollard’s Brendan Healy, Doug Harper and Casey Moore helped the owner of a 64-unit memory care community in Powell, Ohio (Columbus MSA) obtain a cash-out refinance through Fannie Mae. Built in 2016 at a cost of $12.5 million, or just below $200,000 per unit, the community was developed by Eleanor Alvarez, the CEO of LeaderStat, a healthcare recruiting and consulting firm. That staffing knowledge clearly came in handy, as Ms. Alvarez is now refinancing with a $14.6 million non-recourse mortgage, featuring a fixed rate and 12-year term. With a typical 70% loan-to-value, that puts the value of the community at well over $300,000 per unit. Read More »
