Tremper Capital Group Takes Out Two Construction Loans
The closings from Tremper Capital Group kept on coming, with a couple more refinances of construction loans on seniors housing properties. The first was closed for a 124-unit assisted living/memory care community on the Florida panhandle. Built in 2021, the community experienced a strong lease-up, with occupancy exceeding 90%. This community is part of an ongoing, programmatic development joint venture between the regional owner/operator, a prominent private equity firm and several high-net-worth individuals.

Tremper Capital Group Secures Multiple Financings
Tremper Capital Group has hit a rich vein of activity, with four closings since the start of May and several more planned in June. The firm kicked things off with an agency refinance closed for a 133-unit seniors housing community in the Pacific Northwest. Opened in 2022, the community featured independent living, assisted living and memory care services and was a strong performer, with nearly 100% occupancy. The operator, Merrill Gardens, has clearly done a great job at the location. The borrower wished to take out the original construction debt and had received quotes from life insurance companies and banks. But Freddie Mac offered the best combination of terms and provided a $42.9... Read More »
