Berkadia Seniors Housing & Healthcare partnered with Live Oak Bank to close four bridge-to-HUD loans totaling $86 million in the first quarter of 2023. The partnership, which started in October 2022, has closed $143 million of bridge-to-HUD and GSE transactions to date, the majority of which have been structured as A/B notes with Berkadia funding the B-note.

The interest-only loans typically carry terms of 24 months with rates floating over one-month term SOFR. They facilitated purchases and refinances of four assisted living/memory care communities, two skilled nursing facilities, and one independent living community, all scattered throughout the country. Managing Director Jay Healy of Berkadia led the transactions.
