Monarch Advisors Closes Construction Financing
Alec Blanc of Monarch Advisors hit a rich vein of activity, closing several transactions at the end of September. The largest was a construction loan closed for the development of a new 105-unit/113-bed, skilled nursing, assisted living and memory care building in Lancaster, Ohio. The sponsor, located in Louisville, engaged Monarch to source $19.9 million of debt, equal to approximately 70% of the cost of the project. That puts the cost of the project at around $250,000 per bed or $270,000 per unit. Monarch secured a construction/mini-perm loan commitment from a local bank with a three-year construction phase, interest only at SOFR+2.75% and a two-year permanent phase fixed at the... Read More »

Lument Secures Fannie Mae Refinancing
After opening in early 2020, an active adult community recently refinanced through Fannie Mae with the help of Lument. For other seniors housing sectors, trying to lease-up during the pandemic has presented more problems, but active adult, in general, has seen strong occupancy and lease-up rates. So, active adult communities have run into fewer issues when the time comes for an agency refinance. Lument closed a $13.4 million Fannie Mae loan with a 10-year term and four years of interest only. There was also a 30-year amortization period and a fixed interest rate. Tom Dixon of Lument handled this transaction, marking the tenth closing between Lument and the borrower, which has 40 years of... Read More »
