Keybank Finances Renovation of Senior Apartment Community
KeyBank Real Estate Capital and KeyBanc Capital Markets worked on behalf of National Church Residences to secure acquisition financing for the not-for-profit’s renovation of an affordable senior apartment community in Cleveland, Ohio.

So, KeyBank provided $14 million in HUD construction financing, with a 40-year term, and also sold $17 million of required tax-exempt bonds. In addition, KeyBank... Read More »
CIBC Bank Funds Indiana SNF Acquisition
CIBC Bank USA facilitated acquisition financing for a regional operator’s purchase of 11 senior care facilities in Indiana. If this deal sounds familiar, that’s because it is part of the larger 21-facility portfolio sale announced by Evans Senior Investments last week. Matthew Tyler and Daniela Miranda of CIBC closed the $51.2 million loan for a regional operator, which purchased the facilities from a local operator. The loan comes with a five-year term on the real estate, and a $5.0 million revolving line of credit was provided to support working capital needs.

The Pennant Group Swinging For The Pennant
We don’t know what is in the water out west (well, yes, we do) that makes The Pennant Group and its former parent, The Ensign Group, so successful. As readers know, Ensign returned the federal CARES Act funds they had received and posted another good quarter. Taking in COVID patients at its nursing facilities, and the higher rates that come with that, certainly helped. But the spin-off Pennant Group also had a solid quarter, when its seniors housing friends did not fare as well. But Pennant’s home health and hospice business performed quite well, as did most of that sector, benefitting from the desire to be treated at home when institutional care seemed a... Read More »
Blueprint Handles Sentara Healthcare’s SNF Exit
We covered Virginia-based hospital system Sentara Healthcare’s exit from the skilled nursing business in September and recently learned of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors’ involvement in the deal. Sentara’s exit was brought about because of its planned merger with North Carolina-based Cone Health; however, the combined business will still maintain two PACE facilities in southeastern Virginia. The skilled nursing portfolio consists of seven facilities located throughout southern Virginia, with five surrounding the Norfolk/Virginia Beach market. They were mostly built in the late-1980s and early 1990s, with one opening more recently in 2017. They range in size from 84 beds to 216... Read More »
Cushman & Wakefield Refinances Phoenix CCRC
Several years after financing the acquisition of a CCRC in Phoenix, Arizona, Cushman & Wakefield is returning to refinance the property in a $13 million deal. Featuring a total of 327 units, made up of 100 independent living units, 171 assisted living units, 29 memory care beds and 60 skilled nursing beds, the community is set on a 14-acre campus in northern Phoenix.

The debt also helped fund immediate renovations and a... Read More »
Ziegler Structures Debt For Radiant Senior Living Acquisition
Ziegler served as exclusive capital structuring advisor on a debt placement for the borrower, Radiant Senior Living, to acquire a portfolio of three seniors housing communities in the Pacific Northwest. Two of the properties are located near Seattle, Washington, while the third is in Bozeman, Montana. Previously owned by a publicly traded REIT, they combine for 36 independent living and 204 assisted living units and generate in-place, stabilized cash flow. However, there is an opportunity to add value through economies of scale, which suits Radiant and its 18-property portfolio in the Pacific Northwest. The $42.6 million in financing consisted of both senior and mezzanine debt,... Read More »

With occupancy at historic lows, and expenses in flux, it has been difficult to value nursing homes in today’s market. But it is happening every day despite the uncertainty.
