HJ Sims Arranges Funding for CCRC’s Recovery

HJ Sims Arranges Funding for CCRC’s Recovery

With bank financing arranged by HJ Sims in hand, a CCRC in West Chester, Pennsylvania is set to rebuild after a 2017 fire destroyed its main building and also killed four residents. The Barclay Friends community, affiliated with The Kendal Corporation, had moved most of its residents into its 96-bed skilled nursing facility less than a year after the fire. But the destroyed building had not only housed most of the residents, but also the dining/common areas and administrative space, so the time to replace it could not have come soon enough. Kendal will build a two-story, 60-unit building to house both assisted living and memory care residents. Property and casualty insurance was expected... Read More »
A Restaurant-To-Seniors Housing Conversion

A Restaurant-To-Seniors Housing Conversion

A former restaurant and banquet facility in Lower Providence, Pennsylvania is being converted to seniors housing, so the kitchen and dining room are covered.  The restaurant, known as the Collegeville Inn, had its heyday in the 1950s and 60s, but after a couple of unsuccessful reboots, it closed for good in the early 2000s, when M&T Bank took over ownership. Now, Providence Place Senior Living, which already operates five communities in Pennsylvania, has broken ground on a $19 million conversion/addition project to develop a 113-unit senior living community. Included in the plans is a two-story addition that will house the residential units, which would serve independent living,... Read More »
