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.
