CBRE Finances Midwest Portfolio Purchase
A brand-new portfolio of four assisted living/memory care communities gained a new owner, thanks to acquisition financing arranged by Aron Will of CBRE. These communities, featuring 285 assisted living and 155 memory care units, opened in 2016 and 2017 in the Chicago and Kansas City MSAs. And being the highest quality communities in their respective submarkets, they were filling fast, with a favorable lease-up trajectory. Chicago-based CA Ventures developed them and will also maintain an ownership interest in the portfolio, acquiring the communities in a joint venture with a global investment manager.

Gryphon Senior Living Group Gets HUD Refinance

Capital One flexed its banking muscles when it provided just over $551 million in financing to Kayne Anderson Real Estate Advisors (KAREA) for its purchase of Sentio Healthcare Properties. Announced back in May, the high-profile acquisition included all 34 of Sentio’s seniors housing and medical office properties, and was valued around $825 million.

We imagine a lot of time was spent on this large, complex transaction. Well done. Another Capital One deal came across the wires, albeit a little smaller than the KAREA deal.
