Ziegler Closes $3.325 Million Financing for Daystar Church
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 21, 2016 -- Ziegler, a specialty investment bank, is pleased to announce the successful closing of a $3,325,000 Series 2016 financing for Daystar Church, a new client to Ziegler.
Daystar Church began in 1997. Current Lead Pastor, Allen Holmes, came to the church in October 2000 when the attendance was 35 people in a rented facility. The church has grown to a weekend attendance base of approximately 1,800 with a multi-site church model that currently operates from multiple campuses located throughout Greensboro. In 2015, the church entered into an agreement to purchase an additional site intended to replace its primary ministry campus which is located near downtown Greensboro. The new site is located approximately five miles from the Downtown Campus in an area of Greensboro called Hunter Hill. The Hunter Hill Campus is an existing church campus, with multiple ministry buildings on approximately 14 acres of land.
Proceeds of the 2016 Series A Bonds were used to acquire the Hunter Hill Campus and refinance existing debt. Following the acquisition of the Hunter Hill Campus, the church intends to complete certain renovations to the main sanctuary, including leveling the floor, expanding the stage area, and upgrading the audio visual and lighting systems. Additionally, the church will raze the existing original sanctuary and an adjoining addition on the campus. A two-story children’s and youth building, called the Next Generation Center, will then be constructed on this footprint as well as a connector building to serve as a fellowship/atrium area. Upon completion of the project, the church will move the Downtown Campus ministry operation to the Hunter Hill Campus.
“Acquiring the Hunter Hill Campus provides the Church with the space to accommodate future ministry growth,” commented Steve Hron, Director of Ziegler’s religion finance practice.
Tom Mizelle, Executive Pastor, stated, “Acquiring the Hunter Hill Campus was an important piece to our ministry vision. Ziegler tailored a financing structure to fit our specific needs. They extended wise counsel throughout the process, offered flexible terms and provided a historically low fixed interest rate.”
