California Community Secures Refinancing
CBRE secured a Fannie Mae refinance for a seniors housing community in San Leandro, California, on behalf of the borrower, Carlton Senior Living. Built in 1997, the community features 147 units of assisted living and memory care in a high-barrier-to-entry market in the Bay Area. It was 95% occupied at the time of closing, and since owning the community, Carlton has renovated it over the years to keep it competitive in the local market. In order to reconstitute its original joint venture ownership into a closely held Tenant-in-Common (TIC) ownership structure, Carlton refinanced the property with a cash-neutral, $22.9 million loan through CBRE’s Fannie Mae DUS Lending Platform.

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
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...
