Bethlehem was named one of the “100 Best Places to Live and Launch” by CNN Money, due to its business- and entrepreneur-friendly, university-town environment. The strong retail and multifamily tenant base and traffic at Madison Farms are also driven in part by its close proximity to the brand new St. Luke’s Hospital-Anderson Campus, located directly across Freemansburg Avenue. In addition, Pennsylvania’s lower taxes, strong school system, and lower cost of living make Madison Farms an excellent choice for commuters to western New Jersey’s suburban markets.

For Madison Farms Retail, Cronheim arranged $32 million in permanent financing on a 20/30 basis. For Madison Farms Residential, Cronheim arranged an $85.5 million facility on a 20/30 basis with 2 years of interest only, which provided permanent financing on the 294 unit first phase and construction/permanent financing on the 276 unit second phase which will be fully completed and occupied by early 2018.
