California AL/MC Community Secures C-PACE Financing
The owner of a seniors housing community in Simi Valley, California, was evaluating a recapitalization of the asset and worked with Bayview to secure C-PACE financing.

The loan came with a 29-year term and closed approximately six weeks after term sheet execution. Varenita of Simi Valley has been operated by... Read More »

Upstate New York SNF Trades Between Not-for-Profits
Joe Knapp of the Knapp-Stahler Group at Marcus & Millichap handled the sale of a skilled nursing facility in upstate New York.
