Lewis Investments approached JLL in early 2020 regarding refinancing of multiple properties. However, the companies had to put the deal on hold when the coronavirus pandemic arrived inthe United States in March 2020. The unexpected delay gave the JLL team additional time tolocate alternative sources for the refinancing deal. They were successful, and the sourcerefinanced three of the RV and MH communities owned by Lewis Investments.
