Walker & Dunlop Handles HUD Deals

Walker & Dunlop Handles HUD Deals

The team at Walker & Dunlop (W&D) recently closed four HUD transactions for senior care facilities located across the country. Largest (and perhaps most notable) among them was a $35.9 million refinance of a 166-unit behavioral assisted living community in Arizona. The community houses assisted living residents with a secondarily behavioral diagnosis, and this was a unique project for HUD’s LEAN program given the behavioral component and unique payor type, but the program executed on the transaction. To account for the added risk, W&D underwrote the transaction at a lower LTV than traditional senior housing projects. The refinance paid off bank debt and partnership debt. Next,... Read More »
A First for Freddie Mac

A First for Freddie Mac

We saw a first for Freddie Mac, which closed its inaugural senior preferred equity loan for a seniors housing asset in Georgia. Newmark’s Healthcare & Alternative Real Estate Assets group secured the $109 million, 10-year senior loan from Freddie Mac, which featured five years of interest only, and arranged a $31 million preferred equity investment from Kayne Anderson Real Estate Debt.  Freddie Mac would likely only do this for a top-of-the-line community, which is what Corso Atlanta is. Built in 2021, the community features 82 independent living, 75 assisted living and 26 memory care units across a nine-acre campus. Galerie Living developed the community to mimic Parisian...
