In a significant advancement for senior living, Ziegler has completed a long-term FHA/HUD Section 232/223(f) financing deal for Magnolia Crossing, a nonprofit senior living community located in Clovis, California. This transaction not only refinances the existing debt but sets the stage for the community’s future growth and stability.
Understanding Magnolia Crossing
Opened in February 2018, Magnolia Crossing is designed on a small-home, person-centered care model, emphasizing the importance of relationships and engagement among its residents.

He stated, “From the beginning, Magnolia Crossing has distinguished itself as a community committed to innovation, dignity, and accessibility.” Ziegler's partnership has been crucial in navigating the complexities of financing such an impactful community.
