“Four years ago Immanuel Lutheran commenced a comprehensive campus master planning effort to renovate and modernize its community, diversify its business mix and service offerings and secure its position as the leading senior living provider in the Flathead Valley. This multi-phase master plan hits on all three through the introduction of entrance fee independent living apartments, addition of a new memory care unit, expansion of campus amenities and the rightsizing and repurposing of its skilled nursing beds. This financing reintroduced Immanuel Lutheran to the capital markets and was broadly supported by the investor community,” commented Sarkis Garabedian, Director in Ziegler’s senior living practice.

Jason Cronk, CEO, Immanuel Lutheran Corporation, said, “Immanuel Living is pleased to have engaged Ziegler Investment Banking and Sawgrass Partners to not only help us reach our goals for our campus master planning and repositioning, but to exceed our goals as evidenced by the strong response received in the Bond market. We could not have accomplished such an impressive pricing without surrounding ourselves with the industry’s best.”
