Berkadia’s HUD Bonanza

Berkadia’s HUD Bonanza

Berkadia’s Seniors Housing & Healthcare Group has been hard at work with HUD deals so far this summer, with over $50 million in closings in June and July. The transactions were all closed for skilled nursing clients in three states across the country. Jay Healy and Bianca Andujo first secured a $22.24 million loan to take out existing debt at a 157-bed skilled nursing facility in Worchester County, Maryland.

Berkadia Arranges Supplemental HUD Financing

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 »
