Setting Records in the Bronx

Setting Records in the Bronx

You almost never see a single senior care property sell for over $100 million. In fact, only two had ever been recorded with a higher price: a 423-unit/bed CCRC for $165 million in 2007, and a 499-bed skilled nursing facility for $105.5 million in 2015. Now, there is a third. Joshua Jandris, Charles Hilding and Mark Myers of Marcus & Millichap closed the sale of a 744-bed skilled nursing facility in Bronx, New York, for a whopping $110 million, or $147,850 per bed, making it the second-largest single-property sale (and the largest stand-alone skilled nursing facility sale) ever. Located on a 2.46-acre parcel, the facility is spread out among three connected buildings that were built in... Read More »

An Affinity for HUD

An Affinity for HUD

Affinity Living Group’s latest acquisition of two senior living communities in North Carolina was met with more complications than usual. Already with a senior lender on board, Affinity had to find supplemental debt that not only satisfied their own requirements, but also those of the senior lender and of a future HUD refinance. So, HJ Sims provided a $2.475 million mezzanine loan under its “HUD Plus” program, which allows a borrower to leverage up to 92.5% of the market value of a project with HUD-approved secondary financing. Sims funded the subordinate loan by placing $2.475 million of corporate taxable bonds. The communities included a total of 176 assisted living units and 40 memory... Read More »
