CLEVELAND — Industry veterans Ken Gould and Jason Dopoulos have launched Ikaria Capital Group, a platform specializing in debt solutions including bridge loans, recapitalizations, refinancings, construction and permanent financing, FHA/HUD loans and working capital lines of credit.
Cleveland-based Ikaria will feature a focus on skilled nursing and seniors housing facilities. Currently, the Ikaria team is processing a more than $1 billion pipeline of bridge loans through FHA/HUD.
Gould and Dopoulos previously worked with Lancaster Pollard and White Oak Healthcare Partners, respectively.
“We are dedicated to this sector and have specifically created a targeted platform — one that will continue to grow — to serve our clients’ needs,” says Dopoulos, who will serve as managing principal of Ikaria.
A nod to Dopoulos’ heritage, “Ikaria” comes from a Greek island of the same name, which is located in the so-called “blue zone,” a region known for the longevity of its inhabitants.
