At the time, the building comprised 138 independent living and 55 assisted living units, making the... Read More »

California and Pennsylvania Assets Secure Separate Financings
Sims Mortgage Funding (SMF) ended the year with a HUD closing for RiverPointe Post-Acute, a 112-bed skilled nursing facility in Carmichael, California.

Giancarlo Riso, Steve Thomes and Kory Buzin handled the transaction. Read More »
Investor Acquires Full AL/MC Community
A local private investment group divested its stabilized seniors housing community, Village at Oakwood Assisted Living. Originally built in 2010 with use of multiple layers of tax credits, the building comprises 90 assisted living and memory care units. The high-quality physical plant sits in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and was 100% occupied at the time of sale. It focuses on lower income residents through Oklahoma’s Medicaid waiver program and operates under a HAP contract. Because of the use of tax credits for the original development and the HAP contract, multiple layers of government and regulatory approvals were required before a new buyer could take on the building.
