Near-Stabilized AL/MC Community Lands Refinance
Carnegie Capital closed a bridge refinance for a 50-unit assisted living/memory care community in the Houston, Texas MSA. Four years ago, the property was bought by a California-based operator with a growing footprint in Texas. Performance was approximately two to three months from stabilization, but with the acquisition loan maturity looming, a refinance was sought. Carnegie arranged a non-recourse loan for the principals, given the structure of the sponsor’s fund. The loan carries a three-year term, and the borrower has plans to go to HUD in two years.

It was revealed that the seven-story Belmont Village Lincoln Park was bought by CBRE Investment Management for approximately $151 million, according to property tax records. Based on a lower unit count than the original 149 units that were developed, after some unit combinations over the years, that equates to around $1.2 million per unit, or possibly even higher than that.
