Jay Healy and Andrew Lanzaro of Berkadia closed a $9.1 million bridge-to-HUD loan on behalf of PruittHealth to facilitate the acquisition of a skilled nursing facility. The 18-month, interest-only bridge loan represented 76.5% of the value and is prepayable at any time, putting its value at around $11.9 million, or $180,000 per bed. Berkadia anticipates closing the subsequent HUD refinance in the third quarter of this year.
Built in 1966 and renovated in 2019, Southern Pines Nursing Center comprises 66 beds in Warner Robins, Georgia, and occupancy at the time of closing was 90%. It will be rebranded as PruittHealth – Warner Robins.
This acquisition was made in conjunction with the acquisition of Eastview Nursing Center, a skilled nursing facility that features 92 beds in Macon, GA. It will be rebranded as PruittHealth – Lakeside. The seller of the two facilities was Health Management, and the transaction closed December 31.
