Walker & Dunlop (W&D) arranged HUD acquisition loans for three Caring Alternatives assisted living communities located in the greater Milwaukee area. Kevin Giusti and Daniel Barone led the W&D finance team that secured the $16 million acquisition loan on behalf of the sponsor, an experienced developer, and HUD.
Dubbed the Caring Alternatives Portfolio, the communities are located in affluent markets in Oak Creek and Muskego. There were 13 two-bedroom and 62 one-bedroom units, all with private bathrooms. The communities were relatively new construction, having been built in 2009, 2011 and 2018. Operations were strong, with 100% occupancy at closing, with a 91% private pay census across the 75 units. With that kind of census, the communities also boasted excellent cash flow. The trio sold for $18 million, or $240,000 per unit. Ray Giannini of Marcus & Millichap handled the sale.
