MidCap acquires HUD lender Pineview

MidCap acquires HUD lender Pineview

With HUD transaction volume expected to rise in the senior care industry, following the recent debt-seasoning requirement (among other) changes, it’s no wonder MidCap Financial wants to establish a presence there in acquiring Pineview Capital Group, an experienced Denver-based HUD lender. With the benefit of its balance sheet, MidCap already boasts an array of services, including life sciences loans, first mortgage financing and mezzanine debt, ranging in size from $5 million to $100 million. This is also an opportunity to expand Pineview’s lending capabilities to a larger client base. The goal of the transaction is for both teams to become the single point of contact for borrowers through... Read More »
The two Assisted Living markets

The two Assisted Living markets

We first separated out the “A” properties from the “B” properties in 2012, based on the properties’ age, size and location. While there will likely be some “A” communities mixed in with the “B” communities (and the other way around), it all evens out. And when looking at the numbers, these are clearly two different markets. In 2015, “A” properties sold for an average of $248,500 per unit, while “B” properties sold for an average of $138,300 per unit, a difference of $110,200. That means that “A” properties were worth almost double the value of “B” properties. The previous year (2014) the difference was amplified even more. “A” properties in 2014 sold for an average of $244,800 per unit and...

Blueprint in Brookings

Blueprint in Brookings

The team at Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors, including Ben Firestone, Jacob Gehl and Trent Gherardini, worked on behalf of a national owner-operator to strategically divest one of its non-core assets. The property being sold is a 36-unit assisted living community in the coastal town of Brookings, Oregon (near the California border). Built 20 years ago, the all-private pay community was struggling a bit with census but could probably benefit from a little more attention, which should come from its new owner, an Oregon-based regional operator/developer familiar with the local market. The buyer also plans on converting the community to higher levels of care, including memory care... Read More »
Green Court buys Arbour Square

Green Court buys Arbour Square

A fund sponsored by Green Courte Partners bought Arbour Square of Harleysville, a 276-unit independent living community located about 35 miles north of downtown Philadelphia. The first phase of the property was built in the affluent, high barrier-to-entry market in 2006 (with 151 units), while the remaining 125 units were added in 2014. The newest units were already coming out of lease-up by the time acquisition financing was originated for Green Courte. Through Freddie Mac’s seller servicer direct lending program, Aron Will of CBRE secured a $39.9 million fixed-rate loan with a 10-year term and 72 months of interest-only payments. Heritage Senior Living stayed on to operate the... Read More »
