Commentary on The Rune Mixed-Use Project subsidy
Tim Milazzo, CEO of StackSource, commented on the project subsidy. He said that it is crucial to collaborate with a team of experts, especially, those that can provide meaningful solutions to the capital stack beyond senior debt as interest rates continue to increase.
On the other hand, Ian McCulley, said his firm was happy to join hands with such an amazing team. McCulley is the director at Enhanced Capital responsible for the company’s C-PACE division. He explained that the team would deliver environmentally friendly senior housing in an area that can greatly benefit from greater supply.”
Moreover, Ted Christianson, a founding partner of GoodNeighbor, praised Mercante for her hard effort in assisting with the transaction. He said, “My adage, ‘Anyone can find a reason to say no,’ is exemplified by Beth and her crew. Successful individuals can always get a yes!”
