Berkadia Secures HUD Financing for Three Communities

Berkadia announced three HUD financings for communities in Texas, Washington and Montana, totaling $20.6 million.  The first loan, secured by Jay Healy, totaled $11.19 million and was arranged for a Texas-based not-for-profit organization to refinance its 128-unit Medicaid assisted living community in Texas.

Dwight Capital Reports Active Third Quarter

The capital markets certainly appear healthy again, and as such, Dwight Capital reported a very active third quarter with over $170 million in bridge and HUD loans for senior care properties. For the M&A comeback to really commence, lenders will need to be willing partners on those deals, and five of Dwight Capital’s recent closings went to fund acquisitions.  The largest was a $23.25 million loan for a 272-bed skilled nursing facility in Peckville, Pennsylvania. Bradley Clousing and Toby Siefert of Senior Living Investment Brokerage handled the sale, procuring 12 offers on the facility and closing the deal at the start of September.

Monarch Advisors Refinances Newly Built Louisiana Community

Monarch Advisors Refinances Newly Built Louisiana Community

Alec Blanc of Monarch Advisors closed a refinance and recapitalization of a 108-unit assisted living/memory care community in southern Louisiana, just outside of Baton Rouge. After opening the community in 2018, the local owner/operator was first introduced to Monarch in March 2020. At the time, the property was not yet stable (around the mid-70% range), and occupancy did not improve much throughout 2020, which is not a surprise. However, lease-up quickened in early 2021, with occupancy reaching the mid-90% range, and the owner engaged Monarch to source approximately $18.5 million in senior debt to refinance the original construction loan and provide the sponsor with about $5.5 million in...
