Lancaster Pollard announced the promotion of Padam Singh to expand the firm’s investment banking and mortgage banking finance activities for market-rate, income-restricted and subsidized rental properties. Singh will be responsible for clients in the Southeast with a major emphasis on Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.

Previously, Singh was an associate with the firm where he provided support on a range of bond transactions and mortgage loans for construction and refinance projects totaling approximately $180 million. His experience with financing programs, such as FHA, USDA, Fannie Mae and low-income housing tax credits (LIHTCs) and municipal finance, have allowed him to creatively combine financing options to achieve the most cost-effective outcomes for clients nationwide.

“The promotion of Padam to cover the Southeast is integral to our national expansion efforts,” said David Lacki, managing director of Lancaster Pollard’s affordable housing group. “We have recently established an office in the Northeast and bolstered our presence in the South Central states. Padam, with his valuable experience and knowledge of the Southeastern market, is the ideal person to lead this next phase of our expansion.”

Prior to joining Lancaster Pollard, Singh served as the director of urban design and planning with HNTB for the Carolinas. He was instrumental in authoring multiple planning and policy documents addressing multi-disciplinary issues of housing, design, land-use planning, economic development, environment and accessibility. He earned his Bachelor of Architecture from the Indian Institute of Technology and received his MBA from Duke University.

Lancaster Pollard helps health care, senior living and housing providers expand and improve their services by delivering capital financing solutions and financial advice. Padam Singh can be reached at (614) 224-8800 or psingh@lancasterpollard.com.
