Lancaster Pollard Hires Managing Director for Affordable Housing

COLUMBUS, Ohio--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Lancaster Pollard has announced the hiring of David Lacki as managing director of the firm’s affordable housing group. Lacki will lead a national effort to expand the firm’s investment banking and mortgage banking finance activities for income restricted and subsidized rental properties. He previously served as a director in the Housing Capital Markets Group at RBC.

“We now have national coverage by our health care and senior living groups and are looking to accomplish the same in affordable housing”

Lancaster Pollard is an investment banking and mortgage banking firm that has focused on financing for health care, senior living and affordable housing since its inception in 1988. The firm has experienced rapid growth over the past decade, opening its sixth regional office in the Philadelphia area last year.

“We now have national coverage by our health care and senior living groups and are looking to accomplish the same in affordable housing,” said Brian Pollard, Senior Managing Director with the firm.

“Our firm’s growth has been largely through our efforts in health care and senior living finance but our affordable housing group, based out of our Columbus, Ohio home office, has been a consistent contributor to our deal flow. We believe the opportunity is excellent to expand this group on a national level similar to our health care and senior living efforts. Early emphasis will be on hiring additional housing bankers to be located in our Los Angeles, Austin, Atlanta, and Philadelphia Regional offices. The markets that will be served out of these offices represent population growth areas with considerable needs for affordable housing. Our ability to deliver bond underwriting and mortgage banking products, including FHA, FNMA, and USDA mortgage guarantee support, either together or independently, can provide efficient solutions for these property types where multiple funding sources are the norm.”
