Berkadia’s Recent Transaction Activity
Berkadia announced the financing of four seniors housing communities totaling $29.9 million in Mississippi, Florida and Indiana, with all the deals closing since November. Berkadia also announced the sale of two seniors housing communities.

The loan proceeds retired maturing bank debt on two Mississippi communities: a 40-unit assisted living community and a 47-unit assisted living and memory care community. At underwriting, one community was fully occupied, while the other had an occupancy rate of 86%. Both properties are located in... Read More »
Blueprint’s Q4 Closings
Blueprint announced a couple of its Q4 closings. In one, a not-for-profit organization took over a seniors housing community in the Hartford, Connecticut MSA, from a publicly traded REIT.

Allaire Healthcare Acquires PA CCRC
A majority-skilled nursing CCRC in Coal Township, Pennsylvania, was sold by a private PA-based owner divesting his last owned building. Toby Siefert of Senior Living Investment Brokerage handled the transaction, which saw Allaire Healthcare, a New Jersey-based owner/operator with a strong presence in eastern Pennsylvania, emerge as the buyer. Built in the 1970s, Mountain View featured 271 skilled nursing beds and eight independent living units, enough to qualify for a CCRC license. It was occupied in the 60s and operated at a significant loss. The offering was originally marketed in the winter of 2022 but took multiple years to structure the HUD TPA, CCRC licensure, and working with two... Read More »
