Capital One Secures Refinance of Illinois Assisted Living Community
Five years after acquiring a 154-bed assisted living community in Park Ridge, Illinois, Cascade Capital Group (with Legacy Healthcare as its operating partner) is refinancing with the help of Capital One. Joshua Rosen originated the HUD loan, which totaled $15.1 million, came with a 35-year term and replaced conventional bank debt. In the years since acquiring the facility, Cascade had extensively renovated the community, which now has a five-star rating from CMS. The transaction recoups capital expenditures and partner debt, and frees up cash for Cascade to pursue other projects. Read More »
Berkadia’s Big End-of-Year Closing
Berkadia headed out of 2018 with a bang, closing a credit facility that totaled more than $200 million. Secured by 19 senior living communities owned by Capital Senior Living Corporation, the facility came with both fixed and variable interest rates, a 10-year term and 30-year amortization schedule financed through Fannie Mae. Approximately $150.8 million of the debt had the fixed rate and over $50.2 million featured the variable rate. Berkadia’s Lisa Lautner originated the transaction, closing right before Christmas.

The Ensign Group Is At It Again
The Ensign Group started off 2019 with a skilled nursing acquisition right in its wheelhouse. Located in southwest Utah, in the town of Cedar City, this 120-bed skilled nursing facility was just 50% occupied at the time of sale. That kind of turnaround opportunity seems to be Ensign’s specialty. Indeed, occupancy at its last couple of skilled nursing acquisitions ranged from 67% to 70%. So, they’ll hope to use that experience turning operations around at the Utah facility. Read More »

Illinois’ Lake County is getting a new post-acute/transitional care facility, helped by a $25.92 million HUD construction loan arranged by Aron Will and Mark Tran of CBRE.

Blueprint’s Latest Transaction Trio
It’s proving to be a banner year for Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors, which has already announced 63 transactions closed, and counting. That not only beats Blueprint’s 2017 total of 53 transactions but is just one off of the previous record-high (Marcus & Millichap’s 64 transactions closed in 2015), according to our yearly broker rankings. We still don’t know the final count, but after just five years in business, that is an impressive rise. The last three deals saw seven more properties sold on the year. First, Ben Firestone and Michael Segal helped Diversicare Healthcare Services sell three skilled nursing facilities in Kentucky for $18.7 million, or $74,200 per bed.... Read More »
