Regions Bank Closes Ohio Bridge Loan
Chris Honn of Regions Bank’s Healthcare Real Estate Group worked on behalf of an Ohio-based private owner to close a $16.8 million bridge loan with a floating interest rate and two-year term. The loan is also interest-only for the entire term, until maturity, when Regions plans to provide an agency refinance.
