First Citizens Bank’s Healthcare Finance business helped to arrange $270 million in financing to support the acquisition of 30 senior care facilities across Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Montana and Arizona. The portfolio includes 15 skilled nursing facilities, and seven senior care campuses that feature skilled nursing beds as well as independent living and assisted living units. There are 1,584 skilled nursing beds, 90 assisted living units and 450 independent living units. The buyer is a real estate investment group that specializes in the post-acute sector. The properties have been, and will continue to be, operated by Cascadia Healthcare and its affiliate, Olympus Retirement Living.
First Citizens led the bank syndicate that Ikaria Capital Group helped put together. In addition, Ikaria arranged a $30 million preferred equity investment for this acquisition. Ikaria also secured the future FHA/HUD takeout.
