Tryko Partners Developing Pittsburgh Seniors Housing
Selected by The Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh to redevelop a former school in the city to serve the needs of both low-income and middle-income seniors, Tryko Partners just obtained a gap financing commitment from the Pittsburgh Housing Authority to help fund the project. Formerly the Fairywood School in the city’s west end, the site will include a total of 46 one-bedroom units with covered porches, including 39 reserved for low-income residents. There will also be a community building where residents can take advantage of financial literacy, nutrition and exercise programs, health screenings, and other support services for seniors. The project would also anchor a... Read More »
Another University-Based CCRC Finished Construction
We wrote last week of a major seniors housing development in the works on the campus of SUNY Purchase in Westchester County, New York (one that is estimated to cost upwards of $320 million when all is said and done), but a similar project on the campus of Arizona State University just completed construction. Mirabella at ASU is a not-for-profit CCRC with 246 units of independent living and 52 health care units, as well as a host of luxury amenities in the sleek, 20-story building. Some of those features include an indoor pool and wellness center, physical therapy gym, theater, art museum, event and lecture hall, game rooms, salon and spa, dog park, valet and... Read More »
LCS’ Westchester Development Hits 60% Presales
A massive independent living development in the works on the campus of Purchase College SUNY in Purchase, New York is already 60% presold. And the ground has yet to be broken. Set on a 40-acre neighborhood, the development is expected to cost around $320 million. That’s nearly $1.5 million per unit. This isn’t Manhattan real estate, but building on a college campus in Westchester County must come at a cost. It was originally conceived back in 2008, when the state legislature approved a plan for the college to lease some of its land for senior living purposes. The governor at the time, David Paterson, vetoed the bill, but current Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the bill into law in... Read More »

This will also be the furthest north development in Watercrest’s portfolio, so far, as the Florida-based developer/operator has plans to expand its Mid-Atlantic offering. In yet another first, Harbert Seniors Housing Fund II is beginning its relationship with Watercrest on this development. Set in Richmond, the community will feature 98 units of assisted living and memory care plus many of the luxury amenities typical of a Watercrest community, including a fireplace, theater, salon/spa, a scotch and cigar...

Live Oak Bank’s Construction Lending Spree
There’s no doubt that construction lending has slowed, and the loans that do close are much more conservative and now almost always require some sort of recourse. Nevertheless, Live Oak Bank closed three construction financings in December alone, capping off a successful year for the bank’s senior care lending platform. First was an $8.5 million loan for a to-be-built senior living community in Reidsville, North Carolina. ALG Senior had controlled a Certificate of Need to operate assisted living in the county for many years and eventually purchased a 12.5-acre site. The community will feature 58 units and 75 beds of both independent living and assisted living, and... Read More »Schedule a demo
