HJ Sims Secures HUD Loan For Brooklyn Apartment Community
Sims Mortgage Funding, a subsidiary of HJ Sims, secured a $7.035 million HUD loan for Marien-Heim of Sunset Park, a 169-unit Section 8 senior apartment community in Brooklyn, New York. It is owned by a local, not-for-profit community development organization.

PGIM Refinances Senior Care Facility Debt in Ohio
The owner of a 108-unit senior care facility in Brook Park, Ohio, refinanced its HUD debt with the help of PGIM’s Seniors Housing and Healthcare Group, lowering its annual debt service costs by more than $65,000.

Capital Senior Living Lives Another Day
It isn’t often that a company gets to report good news on two different fronts on the same day, especially in this environment. Capital Senior Living announced that June occupancy reached an average of 79.1%, up 380 basis points from its pandemic low of 75.3% this past February. We have been hearing a lot of that lately, and it is great news. Perhaps that is what Conversant Capital LLC had its eye on these past few months as it was mulling over a major investment in Capital Senior Living. It is obviously looking at the future and counting on these occupancy increases to continue. Maybe not at the same pace, but continue nonetheless. What we do not know... Read More »
