Walker & Dunlop Finances Another Cascade Capital Group Acquisition

Walker & Dunlop Finances Another Cascade Capital Group Acquisition

Walker & Dunlop’s Joshua Rosen arranged bridge financing for Cascade Capital Group’s acquisition of a 136-bed supportive living facility in Aurora, Illinois. Totaling over $11.0 million, the debt was structured and provided by W&D’s bridge lending program, which utilizes the company’s own balance sheet. It came with a nine-month term and full term of interest-only payments and allow Cascade to quickly execute on the acquisition. The loan also features flexible prepayment options, and Cascade expects to refinance through HUD later this year. If this sounds familiar, it’s because in August 2019, Walker & Dunlop provided a $12.8 million loan from its balance sheet to cover 100% of... Read More »

OREC, the investment banking affiliate of Lancaster Pollard, was originally brought on to sell the SNF and AL... Read More »
OREC Securities Leads Cape Cod Sale

Walker & Dunlop Announced Cape Cod Closing

Walker & Dunlop both structured and provided $28.3 million in acquisition financing for the new owner of a 194-bed senior care campus in the Cape Cod town of Brewster, Massachusetts.
