AMC Delancey Group and Traditions Development Corporation Secure $18 Million for
Citizens Bank Becomes Financing Partner for Independent Senior Living Facility in South Londonderry Township, Pa



Philadelphia, PA, Mar 27, 2007 - /FLIERWIRE/-- AMC Delancey Group, Inc., a Philadelphia-based national real estate investment company, and Traditions Development Corporation, a leading regional development organization that specializes in senior residential housing development, announced they have partnered with Citizens Bank in the financing for Traditions of Hershey, a 120-unit independent senior living apartment facility in South Londonderry Township, Pa.

Citizens Bank is providing a letter of credit for project financing through approximately $18 million in 30-year, tax-exempt, variable rate demand bonds that are being issued by the Pennsylvania Economic Development Financing Authority.

Traditions of Hershey, currently under construction and scheduled to open in 2008, will offer an abundance of services and activities for its residents, allowing them to get everything they need within the complex. Some amenities include a fitness center; pre-scheduled transportation for doctor visits and other such occasions; lunch and dinner, with breakfast upon request; and a variety of other amenities and services.

Kenneth P. Balin, president and CEO of AMC Delancey Group, said, "Our partnership with Traditions Development Corporation, as well as our relationship with Citizens Bank, is making this project a reality for an extremely important demographic group looking for this type of housing option. Citizens Bank committed to Traditions of Hershey based on the expertise of the management teams, as well as the lack of quality independent senior housing product currently on the market. AMC Delancey and Traditions Development Corporation see Traditions of Hershey as the first of many similar independent senior living facilities throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Virginia and Maryland."
