Walker & Dunlop Finances New Seniors Housing Development
A former community health center in Washington, D.C. is being redeveloped into a mixed-income senior apartments community thanks to HUD financing arranged by Rob Rotach of Walker & Dunlop. Originally built in 1925 as The Hebrew Home, the building served as a skilled nursing facility until 1968 when it was purchased by the District of Columbia to convert it to a community health center. However, it has stood vacant since 2009, and is now being redeveloped into an affordable senior apartment community with 185 total units, 88 of which will benefit from an adaptive reuse rehabilitation loan. It is also being designed to achieve a LEED certification. The project’s capital stack will... Read More »

Capital Senior Living Reports, Again
After Capital Senior Living filed an 8-K recently talking about “going concern” issues, we have to admit we were a little nervous about the delayed first quarter earnings release. Let’s just say, it could have been worse. They included the “going concern” clause, which basically says the current conditions raise “substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the 12-month period following the issuance of its financial statements” for the first quarter of 2020. Well, after reading the financial statements, it seems like there is definitely room to “continue” for the next 12 months, given some of the steps it has taken. They will have... Read More »
MBK Senior Living Buys Orange County Community
California-based MBK Senior Living just acquired an assisted living/memory care community near its Orange County headquarters, with the Cushman & Wakefield team of Richard Swartz, Jay Wagner, Aaron Rosenzweig, Dan Baker and Bailey Nygard handling the deal. Originally built in 1999 with a $1.1 million renovation completed in 2019, the community features 48 units and 59 beds of assisted living and memory care. Since the capital improvements, it has since stabilized and experienced a competitive bidding process. The seller, a joint venture between Cadence Living and an institutional equity partner, previously acquired this community from the not-for-profit HumanGood in 2017. Back then,... Read More »
Synovus Bank Announces Series of Closings
Synovus Bank has not shied away from the lending market recently, closing five transactions and more than $115 million in commitments in the second quarter, so far. That follows 13 loans closed in the first quarter and more than $300 million in volume. It’s true that most of these transactions were largely worked out before COVID-19 really hit the country in March, but the parties still all had to agree on terms in the end. And the deals that were all but closed pre-COVID-19 had little to no changes to the final terms. April and May’s activity consisted of two construction loans, two acquisition loans and one refinance of a matured Fannie Mae loan that also included funds for some... Read More »
Berkadia Arranges Supplemental HUD Financing
Berkadia’s Ed Williams secured supplemental financing through HUD for a skilled nursing facility in Florida. Owned by an Indiana-based sponsor, the 165-bed facility was built in 2010 (relatively new for SNFs) with a mix of skilled nursing and assisted living beds. Occupancy was strong at 90%, and its owner wanted to build a new skilled nursing wing with 20 private units. So, they increased licensed bed capacity by 12 and plan on converting some semi-private units to private. To cover 90% of the project cost, Berkadia arranged a $5.08 million HUD supplemental loan that will run coterminous with the original HUD loan with a term of 30 years. The addition is expected to open this summer.... Read More »
Can Federal Funds Come Without Strings?
Can the seniors housing sector expect to receive federal funds during the pandemic without some strings attached, like regulations? As the health care industry tries to deal with the rising costs of the coronavirus pandemic, the funds available may get tighter and tighter. So far, it has been hospitals and nursing facilities that have received much-needed federal aid. Nursing facilities have been given direct daily rate increases to deal with the rising costs of PPE and labor. The private-pay seniors housing sector, however, has been left out, so far. It has not been without a major effort to obtain federal funds to help with the sector’s own rising costs. Testing kits for all staff and... Read More »

CBRE Secures Acquisition Financing For HJ Sims/Voralto Living Purchase
The CBRE National Senior Housing team arranged acquisition financing for a North Texas assisted living/memory care community. A joint venture between HJ Sims and Voralto Living was the buyer, obtaining a four-year, floating-rate loan with 24 months of interest only from a national bank.

Helios Healthcare Advisors Heads to Houston For HUD Deal
Helios Healthcare Advisors successfully closed a HUD refinance of a 124-bed skilled nursing facility in the Houston, Texas metro area. Recently built in 2015, the facility was placed on the SFF list soon after opening. As soon as the developer/landlord brought in a new operator, things turned around, and the facility was quickly stabilized, cash flowing and occupancy in the 90s. It graduated from the SFF list, but as of closing the facility still maintained a one-star rating from CMS, which we imagine will soon rise. Working with HUD, Bill Janis and Mario Wilson of Helios structured an $8.5 million loan with a 35-year term and fixed interest rate below 3%. That makes for a happy borrower,...
