Silver Wave Capital and Persimmon Ventures announced their second joint venture acquisition, buying a 102-unit assisted living/memory care community in Auburn Hills, Michigan.

Financing Secured for a Virginia SNF
CIBC Bank USA recently closed a new $35 million commercial mortgage term loan and $1.5 million working capital line of credit for a high-quality skilled nursing facility in Virginia to refinance its debt. The 101-bed facility, which has an effective age of 15 years, posted very strong operating results, with occupancy around 92% and an EBITDAR margin historically at 25%. With those results, it is no wonder the facility was able to obtain nearly $350,000 per bed of debt. An experienced Virginia owner/operator was the borrower.
