Cambridge Realty Capital Companies recently assisted a skilled nursing operator to exercise its purchase option on a 192-bed skilled nursing facility in Glenview, Illinois, with the help of a $20 million bridge loan, plus a $1.0 million asset-based loan to fund the deal.

The borrower had taken over operations at the nearly 30-year old facility just nine months prior under a lease, so its own culture was still being implemented at the facility level. However, it decided to go through with the purchase option, utilizing its long-standing relationship with Cambridge to get the job done.
