Impact Statement:  Cedar Lane Senior Living Community is a campus consisting of three senior living buildings. The oldest building, Cedar Lane 1, was originally financed with a 236 loan. This building has a mix of market rate units and Section 8 units, and over the years the market rate units had accumulated a high vacancy rate.

With the first refinancing FHA 223(f) loan was used fund needed upgrades at CL 1, including unit combining to improve marketability; all vacancy issues were solved.  In 2022, GDG worked with the client to complete another refinancing which combined Cedar Lane I with Cedar Lane 2, resulting in more streamlined management, and cash-out for additional upgrades and pre-development for a new property.
