KeyBank Arranges Financing for Foundations Health Solutions
KeyBank Real Estate Capital secured an $11 million HUD loan for Foundations Health Solutions to pay down acquisition debt it used to buy a 150-bed skilled nursing facility in Columbus, Ohio.

Lancaster Pollard Refinances Denver-Area Portfolio
Applewood Our House worked with Lancaster Pollard to refinance its entire portfolio of memory care communities in the Denver, Colorado market. The five memory care communities are all on the smaller side, totaling 76 units across the portfolio. They were built between 2007 and 2018 and range in size from 10 to 16 units with a mix of private and shared rooms.

Dwight Capital Closes Cash-Out Loan
Dwight Capital arranged a cash-out refinance for the owners of a 106-bed skilled nursing facility in Pikeville, Kentucky, paying off an acquisition loan that Dwight financed in 2018. Built in 1970 less than a mile from the 250-bed Pikeville Medical Center, the facility was previously owned by a publicly traded REIT and operated by Signature HealthCARE.

A partnership between an investor and an operator emerged as the buyer, and both entered the Kentucky market with the acquisition. The facility also was subject to a ground lease owned by a group of local investors. Blueprint... Read More »
