Antares served as sole lead arranger and is acting as administrative agent for a senior secured credit facility to support Sterling Investment Partners’ investment in HeartLand.
Headquartered in Kansas City, MO, HeartLand provides commercial landscape services through five regional companies across the Central U.S. HeartLand’s service offerings include full-service grounds maintenance, landscape enhancements and upgrades, and de-icing and snow removal during the winter.
“We’ve worked with Antares for over 20 years and we appreciate consistency and reliability,” said Charles Santoro, founder and managing partner of Sterling Investment Partners. “To complete the financing for HeartLand, we required a lender who could match our expedited diligence process and provide a complete and flexible financing solution. Once again, Antares delivered.”
“We’re very pleased to support Sterling Investment Partners and the continued growth of HeartLand, said Doug Cannaliato, senior managing director of Antares. “HeartLand is a market leader, has enjoyed strong growth both organically and through acquisitions, and is led by an experienced and committed management team.”
