Lument Refinances Rhode Island Campus
Lument recently closed a $45.9 million HUD loan to refinance an existing HUD mortgage on Tockwotton on the Waterfront, a 156-unit skilled nursing and senior care community in East Providence, Rhode Island. Independently owned and operated by the not-for-profit Tockwotton Home, Inc., it consists of 52 skilled nursing beds, 73 assisted living units and 31 memory care units. In the wake of property performance challenges following the pandemic, Tockwotton has steadily improved its occupancy rate over the past year. Assisted living occupancy rose by nearly 15% since May of 2021, giving the campus an overall occupancy of 86.5%. They currently boast 100% occupancy rate for their skilled nursing... Read More »
60 Seconds with Ben Swett: Healthcare and Senior Care M&A Surges
Barely into 2022, we can safely say that the M&A floodgates have opened in the senior care market. We already announced that dealmaking hit a record-high in terms of activity in the fourth quarter of 2021, with 135 deals and counting, and we have to point out that our sister publication covering the healthcare market tracked a record-number of 2,145 transactions in the other 12 healthcare sectors combined in calendar year 2021, which is a 44% increase from the previous annual record-high of 1,490 deals in 2018. We have never seen numbers like these, but what is even more impressive is that with every passing day in 2022, we learn of more and more closings that occurred in the last week... Read More »
VIUM Capital Closes Out First Full Year In Style
Just a year and half after its inception, VIUM Capital announced it closed 42 transactions totaling nearly $700 million in 2021, with nearly half of those deals closing in the fourth quarter. The deal total was fairly even between bridge and HUD loans, and we learned about several of these closings this month. In a recapitalization effort to retire existing debt, cover closing costs and take equity out, two assisted living/memory care communities in Washington received a $14 million bridge loan from VIUM. Over in Maryland, VIUM placed another $15.15 million bridge loan for the acquisition of a skilled nursing facility. VIUM then placed a third bridge loan to a SNF in Illinois,... Read More »

Ziegler partnered with M&T Realty Capital Corporation as financial advisor in a $8.5 million Fannie Mae refinancing. On behalf of Essex Communities, the team refinanced the existing debt on Carriage Glen, a 55+ age-restricted independent living community in Lincoln, Nebraska. The 10-year, fixed-rate loan was structured at 75% loan-to-value with four years of interest-only payments, followed by 30 years of amortization. The loan also carried a declining prepayment schedule, which will provide the borrower with additional flexibility in future years. In addition to refinancing the existing debt, the loan also provided funding for Essex to recover capital expenditures and to pay off the... Read More »

Blueprint Announces Two Deals in the Western U.S.
Two seniors housing deals were announced in the western United States by Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors, and neither buyer plans to keep operating the properties as seniors housing. Amy Sitzman, Giancarlo Riso and Ben Firestone kicked things off with the sale of an independent living community in the Southwest. Built in the late-1980s with a more recent renovation, the community features more than 130 units. The owner had invested significant equity into the physical plant, and operations were trending positively. They decided to sell the community to a multifamily company that had purchased another property of the seller’s in mid-2021, also with the help of the... Read More »
Hines Launches Flagship Tactical Fund Series Program
On January 10, Hines announced the launch of its flagship tactical fund series in the United States. The fund is looking to raise $1 billion in equity by May 2022, which would provide purchasing power of $2.5 billion after leverage. Their goal is to renovate struggling and undervalued properties in 30 of the country’s largest cities, including senior living communities hampered by the pandemic. Hines is banking on the fact that many owners may have to reexamine their portfolios, or pivot altogether, after the last couple of years, and we would not disagree. The Hines U.S. Property Recovery Fund is a closed-end, diversified fund, targeting tactical investment opportunities across the... Read More »

Ventas Divests Atria Senior Living Portfolios
Ventas has sold a few portfolios of its Atria Senior Living-operated properties, with the deals closing just before the end of the year. Totaling 23 properties, these were mostly Class B, older vintage communities with some room for operational improvement, but perhaps Ventas also wants to diversify its tenant base a bit, especially after Atria’s massive growth in 2021. The portfolios total around 2,600 units. JLL Capital Markets’ Mike Garbers and Ted Flagg handled the divestments, while Joel Mendes handled the acquisition financing for the buyer. Starting in the Northeast, news trickled out in December that the REIT had sold six properties to Peregrine Senior Living and an affiliate of... Read More »Schedule a demo
