We learned of Care Investment Trust (CIT) and Greenfield Senior Living’s joint venture acquisition of a 120-unit personal care/assisted living and memory care community in Lansdale, Pennsylvania back in January, but just recently bubbling to the surface was the news that Aron Will of CBRE arranged financing for it. Through a regional bank, Mr. Will secured a $10 million, floating-rate loan, with a five-year term and 12 months of interest only. Currently, the community is just 61% occupied based on 150 licensed beds, which Greenfield intends to improve. The operator will also change the name to Greenfield Senior Living of Lansdale. With the joint venture between CIT and Greenfield looking to grow in 2017, will Mr. Will be called upon again to provide financing? We don’t see why not.
