CIBC Arranges Financings for Several SNF Purchases
One side to the surge in M&A activity in the last couple of weeks is the financing side of it, and CIBC Bank USA announced a couple of acquisition loans for skilled nursing purchases.

Summit Healthcare REIT Makes Large Portfolio Acquisition
Summit Healthcare REIT is entering Georgia with the acquisition of eight skilled nursing facilities across the state. Purchased for $130 million, or $157,000 per bed, the portfolio comprises 826 licensed beds. That per-bed value is certainly high for SNFs, but these days with so many buyers on the hunt for few facilities, we’ve seen bids creep up and up. A wholly-owned subsidiary of Summit is purchasing the portfolio, which will be leased back to the existing operator on a triple net basis. The undisclosed operator has a strong existing presence in the Peach State. CIBC U.S. and Oxford Finance funded the debt on the transaction. With this deal and another acquisition closed in 2021, Summit... Read More »
