Hayden Spiess — Thu, 08 Oct 2026 15:41:55 +0000

GROVE CITY, OHIO — BWE has provided a $28.3 million permanent loan for Grove City Senior Living, an independent living, assisted living and memory care community in Grove City, part of the Columbus metropolitan area. Taylor Hawkins, senior vice president in BWE’s Cleveland office, originated the financing on behalf of an Ohio-based developer through Fannie Mae. BWE is a Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (DUS)-approved lender. The loan will be used to take out existing construction debt and return equity to investors as the borrower plans for a long-term hold of the property, which opened in May 2023. The loan features a 10-year term with three years of interest-only payments and a 30-year amortization, as well as a 100 percent loan-to-cost ratio. “When Grove City Senior Living reached full occupancy, our client knew it was the right time to move on from its existing construction debt and find a permanent loan,” says Hawkins. “We considered multiple agency options when determining the right financing for this property.

By Teresa Borgen, Newmark From record-high leasing rates to historically low office sales volume, the Minneapolis-St. Paul market continues to present a complex and evolving landscape. Still recovering from lasting effects of COVID-19 and civil unrest during 2020, some submarkets are thriving, while others continue their gradual recovery.

Several high-profile relocations among national law firms underscore the trend, with firms such as Husch Blackwell, Cozen O’Connor, Faegre Drinker, Saul Ewing and Robins Kaplan making long-term commitments, some even growing their footprint. The Minneapolis CBD has also attracted several recent relocations from the suburbs, with tenants like HNTB, Yardstik and Pepper Foster Consulting moving for enhanced accessibility to public transit and easier opportunities for growth. Given the migration to suburban office markets between 2020 and 2022, these moves and expansions are encouraging signs for the Minneapolis CBD, as well as other downtown markets in the U.S. While these developments are certainly…
