TJM Properties Re-enters Senior Living Sector
In 2013, Clearwater, Florida-based TJM Properties sold 15 of its 19 senior living communities to Fortress Investment Group/Holiday Retirement for $220 million, effectively exiting the sector to focus on the hotel industry and its remaining senior living communities.

The team worked to quickly secure the issuance of a provisional license, with the aim of attracting an operator to carry on the licensee’s legacy.

The buyer identified a greater demand for a healthcare alternate-use property within the local community, which prompted the seller to relocate residents to other seniors housing properties....

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 »

60 Seconds with Swett: New NORC Study Great for Senior Care PR
The seniors housing and care market is fighting an often uphill battle to fix its public perception, and providers got a significant tool in their marketing arsenal when NORC at the University of Chicago released a study on how frailty levels among seniors ultimately decline after their moving into seniors housing or skilled nursing properties.
