Lancaster Pollard Closes Two HUD Transactions
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 first closing was in Greentown, Indiana for an 84-bed skilled nursing facility and a 43-unit assisted living community. Both are owned by Putnam County Hospital (a 25-bed critical access hospital in town) and managed by Exceptional Living Centers.

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.

Not resting on those impressive... Read More »

Synergies Yield Successful Bond Financing in Georgia
The new relationship between Lancaster Pollard and its parent company (for less than a year) ORIX Corporation USA is paying off for their clients. One of them, Georgia-based Brickmont Assisted Living, took advantage of those synergies to obtain construction financing for its to-be-built assisted living/memory care community in Johns Creek, Georgia. Lancaster Pollard placed $16.7 million of tax-exempt bonds with ORIX USA, offering a drawn-down bond structure that will yield significant savings for Brickmont. After purchasing all the bonds at a fixed interest rate, ORIX USA also gave Brickmont flexible prepayment options, should the company decide to refinance early. Sounds like a good deal...
