Cambridge Realty Capital, a leading provider of senior housing and healthcare financing, is proud to continue its longstanding support of the National Investment Center for Seniors Housing & Care (NIC) Fall Conference as a sponsor of this year’s event, taking place October 21–23, 2026 at the Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk.
The annual NIC Fall Conference brings together more than 3,000 senior housing and care leaders, including owners, operators, investors, developers, lenders, and other capital providers. The 2026 conference will focus on the relationships, strategies, and opportunities shaping the future of senior housing and care.
“We look forward to NIC’s return to Chicago and reconnecting with longtime colleagues, clients and industry partners,” said Andrew Erkes, President of Cambridge. “NIC has been an integral part of the senior housing community for decades, and Cambridge is pleased to have supported these conferences for more than 25 years. We value the opportunity to share ideas, discuss the current financing environment and, most importantly, continue building relationships that extend well beyond the conference.” Cambridge representatives attending the 2026 NIC Fall Conference will include:
• Andy Cush
• Brent Holman-Gomez
• Zach Scardina
• Abby Althoff
• Jerry Huang
Cambridge’s participation reflects more than a commitment to attending an important industry event—it represents over 25 years of loyalty and sponsorship of NIC conferences and Cambridge’s belief in the value of maintaining meaningful, long-term relationships throughout the senior housing and healthcare industry.
“Cambridge has been fortunate to build relationships in this industry that span decades,” said Erkes. “Our continued involvement with NIC is an important part of that commitment. We feel that our longevity, experience and deep understanding of senior housing finance provide real value to the borrowers and business partners we serve.”
Since starting in the sector in 1986, Cambridge is proud to be one of the industry’s earliest and longest-standing privately owned lenders. This tenure has allowed the company to develop a depth of institutional knowledge and a team of experienced professionals who understand the complexities of senior housing and healthcare financing. For borrowers, that experience can make a meaningful difference.
Employee longevity is one of Cambridge’s key advantages. Rather than relying on an ever-changing team, Cambridge has built a staff with years of experience navigating the senior housing and healthcare lending environment. That institutional knowledge allows Cambridge professionals to understand the history behind transactions, anticipate potential challenges, and work collaboratively with borrowers to find financing solutions.
Cambridge’s long-term commitment to the industry is reflected in its track record of more than $6.5 billion in closed senior housing capital transactions. The company provides a range of mortgage loan financing solutions, including HUD-insured financing, bridge financing and conventional debt solutions designed specifically for senior housing and assisted living owners and investors.
Cambridge’s sponsorship of NIC reflects the company’s broader philosophy that long-term relationships matter. In an industry where financing decisions can have significant implications for owners and operators, Cambridge believes borrowers benefit from working with a lender whose people possess deep industry knowledge and whose commitment extends beyond a single transaction.
Attendees interested in meeting with the Cambridge team during the NIC Fall Conference are encouraged to schedule time with the company’s representatives in advance.
