Capital Funding Group announced its recent transaction activity which was highlighted by a $135 million bridge loan arranged for the refinancing and dividend recapitalization of a skilled nursing portfolio. The nine facilities feature 1,448 beds across Maryland, Georgia and West Virginia. CFG’s Tim Eberhardt and Ava Julio originated the transaction for a well-known skilled nursing owner, but further details were not disclosed.
CFG also provided a $32.9 million construction loan for the ground-up development of Varenita of Temecula. The 108-bed assisted living/memory care community is located in Temecula, within Riverside County between Los Angeles and San Diego. It was developed by Griffin Living (which is the borrower), and Brightwater Senior Living will operate the community upon completion.
The financing features a Commercial Property-Assessed Clean Energy (CPACE) structure, which allows building owners to borrow money for energy efficiency, renewable energy, or other projects and make repayments via an assessment on their property tax bill. The financing arrangement then remains with the property even if it is sold, facilitating long-term investments in building performance.
