Lancaster Pollard Secures $23.4M Refinance

Lancaster Pollard helped Hillcrest Health Systems obtain a $23.4 million refinancing of The Cottages at Hillcrest Country Estates, a long-term care (LTC) community in Papillion, Neb., with 126 skilled nursing beds and 12 independent units.

The loan refinances existing bank debt and inter-company notes used to construct and stabilize the community’s individual “cottages,” and puts a permanent debt structure with a low, fixed interest rate and 35-year term in place. The financing also led to annual debt service savings, according to a press release announcing the loan.

The buyer was based in New York; the seller was a Los Angeles-based real estate investor.
