Brookdale Gets Another Large Freddie Mac Financing
Brookdale Senior Living continues to make moves that put the company on surer financial footing, having just refinanced existing debt with a $111.1 million Freddie Mac loan arranged by Monique Bimler of KeyBank Real Estate Capital. Secured in two tranches of 14 cross-collateralized seniors housing properties in Arizona, Florida, Massachusetts, Maryland, Mississippi, New York, Oregon, Texas, Virginia and Washington, the first mortgage was arranged as a 10-year split payment master note. There will be a five-year interest-only period split between 40% floating rate and 60% fixed rate payments, with a 30-year amortization schedule after that. This transaction follows a much larger $327... Read More »
St. Louis-Area Acquisition Funded by Regions Bank
Regions Bank Healthcare Real Estate Group assisted a joint venture in obtaining acquisition financing for their purchase of two assisted living communities in the St. Louis MSA. Built in 2000 and 2006, these two Illinois communities featured a combined 135 assisted living units.

The non-recourse loan was structured with a five-year, floating-rate term and an interest-only period. Amber Crosby and Chris Honn of Regions closed the transaction. Read More »
Giannini Sells Two Rural SNFs in Northern Minnesota
Two skilled nursing facilities that are struggling with census sold in rural Minnesota thanks to Ray Giannini of Marcus & Millichap. Featuring 80 skilled nursing and 10 assisted living beds at one location in Eveleth, and 83 skilled nursing beds in the town of Virginia, these facilities were both built in the 1960s near the Iron Range in northern Minnesota. They were not well-occupied, at just 50.5% and 64%, and cash flow was also limited. Monarch Healthcare Management purchased the facilities from Benedictine Health System for $6.5 million, or $37,600 per bed. Read More »
CBRE Refinances Chico Expansion Project
After expanding its Chico, California senior living community a couple of years ago, Westmont Living refinanced the new development with a Freddie Mac loan arranged by Andrew Behrens, Aron Will, Austin Sacco and Adam Mincberg of CBRE. Set next to a lake within a master planned age-restricted community, the 80-unit assisted living expansion opened in 2017 to join the existing 138-unit senior living community that offers independent living, assisted living and memory care services. Since Westmont took over operations in early 2006, the property has experienced consistently strong occupancy above 90%. In 2016, CBRE had arranged a $32.3 million Fannie Mae loan, with a 10-year, fixed-rate term... Read More »

Helios Sells Wisconsin SNF Portfolio (and a Home Health Business)
Still less than a year after forming Helios Healthcare Advisors, Bill Janis and Mario Wilson are keeping the closings coming with a skilled nursing sale in Wisconsin, their first in the state (with Helios) but certainly not their last. The deal featured three skilled nursing facilities previously owned by a Wisconsin-based provider who decided to exit the industry after a longstanding presence in the local market. Also included in the sale was a home health company that brings not only solid revenues to the new owner, which is entering the home health business with this deal, but also another care option for their patients. That buyer ended up being a New York-based owner/operator with a... Read More »
Big Midwest Sale Gets Mezzanine Financing
Contemporary Healthcare Capital (CHC) announced that it provided mezzanine financing for Cascade Capital Group’s large portfolio acquisition of Upper Midwest senior care facilities from last month. The portfolio sale included five skilled nursing facilities and two assisted living communities in Minnesota and South Dakota. Their outgoing operator was on the verge of bankruptcy, adding complexity to the transaction that was handled by Rob Reis of Marcus & Millichap. The Minnesota facilities were leased to Monarch Healthcare Management and the South Dakota facilities to Eduro Healthcare. CIBC had provided the senior acquisition loan, but CHC followed that up with a $4.22 mezzanine... Read More »
De Paul Health Care Divests Three Philly-Area SNFs
De Paul Health Care sold three of its Philadelphia-area skilled nursing facilities, leaving the New Jersey-based provider with four SNFs in its portfolio, in addition to its existing medical office building and residential community businesses. Mark Myers and Joshua Jandris of IPA Seniors Housing represented the De Paul family in the transaction, which included a 49-bed skilled nursing facility and a 120-bed SNF in Philadelphia, and a 162-bed facility in Absecon, New Jersey (adjacent to Atlantic City). These facilities were operating at breakeven, despite solid occupancy, which leaves some room for added value for the new owner, Paramount Care Centers. Christopher Utz of Ziegler Seniors...

Live Oak Bank Closes Two Balance Sheet Loans
Utilizing its balance sheet lending program, Live Oak Bank closed two conventional loans on behalf of senior living clients. Adam Sherman led the way on both transactions. The first was arranged for a to-be-built assisted living/memory care community in Mason, Ohio being developed by Berengaria Development, the real estate arm of Marcus Investments. There will be 23 AL and 18 MC units, with BrightStar Senior Living, an affiliate of home health care provider BrightStar Care, leasing and operating the property upon completion. The project received a $6.9 million loan, with a five-year term, 25-year amortization and 24 months of interest only payments to accommodate the construction and... Read More »
