by Jonathan Mehall August 6, 2015

CLEVELAND — Love Funding has closed on a $15.3 million loan to renovate a large, historic city block in downtown Cleveland into a loft apartment community. West 25th Street Lofts will offer 83 market-rate loft apartments in four adjacent buildings in Cleveland’s Ohio City neighborhood, including one that was originally constructed in 1866 to house the Jacob Beahr Brewery. In short, the apartments will replace a vacant group of buildings on West 25th Street. The developers of the $27.4 million project are Rick Foran of Foran Group Development LLC and Chris Smythe of Smythe Property Advisors LLC. Love Funding Midwest Regional Director Bruce Gerhart secured the financing through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s 221(d)(4) loan insurance program. The HUD program provided the development team with low-rate, non-recourse financing for the duration of construction and for a subsequent 40-year term. The loan was originally slated to be finalized in 2014, but the closing of a charter school in one of the newer buildings enabled the development team to add another 22 units to the project, according to Love Funding. Since then, the immediate area has benefited from further development, leadingUSA Today to name the area one of the 10 “up and coming” neighborhoods in the United States. …

Proposed New Arena for Milwaukee Bucks Could Lead to Development Run

by Jeff Shaw August 6, 2015

An article highlighting the fortunes of the Milwaukee Bucks that appeared July 6 on CBSSports.com couldn’t be more accurate. “There’s something powerful and sustainable growing in Milwaukee, rising out of the weeds of small-market irrelevance and into a team you’re going to want to watch next season,” wrote Matt Moore who covers the NBA. Since New York hedge fund investors Wes Edens and Marc Lasry purchased the Bucks last year for $550 million, the team has been on the rise. Founded as an expansion team in 1968, the Bucks went from being the worst team in the league during the 2013-14 season to the sixth seed in the 2014-2015 playoffs. The new owners, along with former owner Herb Kohl, have committed $250 million for the construction of a new $500 million arena as a replacement for the team’s current home, BMO Harris Bradley Center, which opened in 1988. But if the new arena is not built by the 2017 season, Milwaukee could be left without an NBA team.
