Ziegler just closed a $25.34 million financing for a new seniors housing community in San Antonio, Texas, but these funds do not include the cost of construction.

Berkadia arranged acquisition financing for two assisted living/memory care communities in Idaho. Managing Director Jay Healy and Associate Director Andrew Lanzaro secured the $7.8 million bridge-to-HUD loan with an interest-only term of 18 months and a six-month extension option.

While trying to fight off one major shareholder who thought management was selling out Diversified Healthcare Trust (DHC) shareholders with their merger into Office Properties Income Trust (OPI) at a low value, they are now dealing with a technical default on the REIT’s $450 million credit facility. The credit facility requires the value of the collateral to be at least $1.09 billion for the 61 medical office buildings and life science properties. The reappraised value came to just $1.05 billion, a 22% plunge from the $1.34 billion value when last appraised in January 2021. A 4% drop below the value threshold, or just $40 million, should not be worth getting your knickers in a knot over in... Read More »
