Love Funding Funds Florida Development
A new assisted living community will open in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, thanks to a $16.3 million HUD loan secured by Ken Charbauski of Love Funding. Located at the site of the former Alba Court Inn Hotel, which was built in 1895 and demolished in 2010, the community will feature 88 assisted living and 21 memory care beds in 93 total units. Adjacent to the four-story building will also be a 4,000-square foot adult day care center being renovated from a shuttered church. Urbanus Development, based in San Juan, Puerto Rico, is the project’s developer, with Miami Beach-based MIA Senior Living coming in as the operator. The non-recourse loan featured a 40-year term following the construction... Read More »

Cushman & Wakefield Coming Through with CCRC Sale
The Tampa team of Cushman & Wakefield including Allen McMurtry, Paul Carr and David Kliewer represented the seller of a 228-unit CCRC that filed for bankruptcy protection earlier this year. Developed in 2011 with three interconnected buildings that feature 125 independent living, 44 assisted living, 18 memory care and 41 skilled nursing units, the property was previously owned by the not-for-profit Senior Quality Lifestyles Corporation. It was 82% occupied at the time of the sale, and despite the February 8th bankruptcy filing stayed the course, operationally. The Woodlands, Texas-based not-for-profit Methodist Retirement Communities stepped in as the buyer, paying $20.35 million, or... Read More »

CBRE Refinances DiNapoli Portfolio
DiNapoli Capital Partners has refinanced five of its California senior living properties, thanks to a structured ARM loan originated by Andrew Behrens, Aron Will, Austin Sacco and Adam Mincberg of CBRE.

Integral Senior Living operates three of the communities, with two in southern California and one in northern California, and Westmont Senior Living manages the two communities in Roseville in the Sacramento area. DiNapoli spent well over $115... Read More »

The Ensign Group to Split Up
Talk about a surprise move. The Ensign Group announced that it will be spinning out its home health and hospice business and substantially all of its senior living operations, plus its mobile diagnostic and clinical lab operations, into a separate publicly traded company called The Pennant Group. Ensign will become a stand-alone skilled nursing company but will also continue to own the real estate of 28 of the senior living communities and lease them to Pennant. The remaining 23 senior living properties are leased from third parties. While it makes sense for Ensign to want to focus just on skilled nursing because the business is getting increasingly complex, we are not sure why they want... Read More »
