Meridian primes Continuum for HUD
Continuum Healthcare has been busy growing its portfolio and is now looking for permanent financing for the six of its skilled nursing facilities in New Jersey and Pennsylvania they acquired over the last three years. In the meantime, Meridian Capital Group has arranged $135.5 million in bridge financing for the facilities. The loan came with a four-year term, six months interest-only, under 15% recourse, and was provided by a balance sheet and mezzanine lender.

A team effort
We wrote in the August issue of The SeniorCare Investor of Birchwood Health Care Properties’ acquisition of four skilled nursing facilities and a hospice care and home health company in Oklahoma, and that HJ Sims had financed a $5.25 million subordinate loan to fund the deal. Now, RED Capital Partners has just announced that it closed a $12.7 million balance sheet acquisition loan for Birchwood’s take-over of the 361-bed portfolio. The transaction was unique, in that the ancillary home health and hospice business provided credit support for the bridge-to-HUD loan. Read More »
Financing the future

Back to Boise
Boise, Idaho-based Cascadia Healthcare, a regional provider of transitional/skilled nursing care, just expanded its relationship with one of the more active buyers in 2016, CareTrust REIT. A few months after Cascadia sold (and then leased back) its 98-bed skilled nursing facility in Boise to CareTrust for $8.9 million, or $90,816 per bed, the provider broke ground on its latest transitional care development in nearby Nampa. The 99-bed, 52,000-square foot facility, scheduled to open in mid-2017, just received a $2.2 million preferred equity investment from CareTrust. In addition, the REIT will have an option to purchase the property once it is stabilized. Read More »San Diego Solution
Aron Will of CBRE closed his latest transactions for two separate borrowers in the San Diego area. First, Mr. Will and Kevin Randles arranged a fixed rate Fannie Mae loan to refinance an 84-unit independent living community in San Diego. The owner/operator, Ray Stone Inc., had managed the community since 2005. Then, The Grant Companies refinanced the recently stabilized 102-unit independent/assisted living Phase II of its Ridge at Lantern Crest campus. Mr. Will worked with Bill Chiles and Scott Peterson on this transaction. CBRE also refinanced Phase I with a Freddie Mac loan back in 2014. Read More »Schedule a demo
