A Focus on Treplus Communities

A Focus on Treplus Communities

Active Adult communities have been the hot topic for the past year for many reasons. First, they fill a void in the senior living spectrum, a void that will be growing. Second, there are very few labor concerns with Active Adult – no care providers, kitchen help or much of anything else – which is huge in today’s labor-constrained market. Third, they are a cheaper alternative to traditional senior living communities. Fourth, if all fails, they are very easy to convert to traditional multifamily apartments or sell as condos. And five, the average length of stay appears to be between four and five years, although it may be too early to say that with any conviction. At the recent NIC... Read More »

Carnegie Capital Secures Bank Loan for Assisted Living Project  

Carnegie Capital Secures Bank Loan for Assisted Living Project  

A construction project that was set to break ground in early 2020 is finally getting off the ground thanks to a bank loan arranged by JD Stettin of Carnegie Capital. Set in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, the cottage-style community will feature 48 assisted living and 16 memory care units. It is the second ground-up construction project for the undisclosed sponsor.  To finance the development, Mr. Stettin arranged a $9 million loan from a North Texas regional bank with a five-year term and two years of interest only. That comes to 65% loan-to-cost and under 50% loan-to-value, putting the construction cost at $215,000 per unit, which was fixed with the general contractor. Seven banks and... Read More »
