PHILADELPHIA (March 12, 2007) – AMC Delancey Group, Inc., a
Philadelphia-based national real estate investment company, and Traditions
Development Corporation, a leading regional development organization that
specializes in senior residential housing development, announced they have
partnered with Citizens Bank in the financing for Traditions of Hershey, a
120-unit independent senior living apartment facility in South Londonderry
Township, Pa.
Citizens Bank is providing a letter of credit for project financing
through approximately $18 million in 30-year, tax-exempt, variable rate
demand bonds that are being issued by the Pennsylvania Economic Development
Financing Authority.
Traditions of Hershey, currently under construction and scheduled to open
in 2008, will offer an abundance of services and activities for its
residents, allowing them to get everything they need within the complex.
Some amenities include a fitness center; pre-scheduled transportation for
doctor visits and other such occasions; lunch and dinner, with breakfast
upon request; and a variety of other amenities and services.
Kenneth P. Balin, president and CEO of AMC Delancey Group, said, “Our
partnership with Traditions Development Corporation, as well as our
relationship with Citizens Bank, is making this project a reality for an
extremely important demographic group looking for this type of housing
option. Citizens Bank committed to Traditions of Hershey based on the
expertise of the management teams, as well as the lack of quality
independent senior housing product currently on the market. AMC Delancey and
Traditions Development Corporation see Traditions of Hershey as the first of
many similar independent senior living facilities throughout Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Delaware, Virginia and Maryland.”
