HHC’s Fitting Finale
Housing & Healthcare Finance (HHC) finished the year with over $25 million in two more HUD transactions. First, for a portfolio of five Texas skilled nursing facilities all built between 1960 and 1985 and owned by an experienced operator, HHC closed five loans totaling $21.2 million. The financing, with interest rates in the low 3s, will help fund needed repairs across the portfolio. And then, HHC arranged $5.6 million, also with an interest rate in the low 3s, for a 94-bed skilled nursing/memory care facility in California. Built in 1964, the facility was also owned by an experienced operator. Read More »Riverside Refinance
Three years after buying a 207-unit independent living community in Riverside, California, Capitol Seniors Housing (CSH) is refinancing it, at a much higher value. The private investment firm bought Olive Grove (now Welbrook Arlington) in August 2013 for $16.25 million, or $76,651 per unit.

Success really can breed success. At least, that is the case for a skilled nursing facility in Lubbock, Texas that has already expanded once, and will soon grow again. Built in 2011 with 78 beds, all in private rooms, this skilled nursing facility added another 30 private beds and expanded its therapy gym by 1,300 square feet in 2013, at a cost of $2.6 million. Now, with occupancy averaging 89% from January 2015 to mid-year 2016, the local family owner/operator has decided to invest again in improvements and an expansion.

How does Harborview do it?
Harborview Capital Partners has been knocking it out of the park recently, as many of you will read in the December issue of The SeniorCare Investor, which is landing on desks early next week. The firm has closed a significant amount of business since November 1, and the transactions just keep on coming. Eli Kutner originated a $30 million bridge-to-HUD refinance of a 133-bed skilled nursing facility in West Hollywood, California, which also provided net cash-out proceeds to the borrower in excess of $12 million. The loan came with a LIBOR+2.86 interest rate, two-year term with one-year extension options, 24 months of interest-only payments, and a 25-year amortization. Ephraim Kutner and... Read More »
