Back to Business for KeyBank
Less than a month after KeyBank Real Estate Capital announced its $703 million financing to fund Blackstone’s purchase of 64 seniors housing communities from HCP Inc., it was back to business for the commercial real estate financing provider with another HUD refinance. John Randolph of KeyBank’s Healthcare Group arranged a $15.4 million HUD loan for a 120-bed skilled nursing facility in Harlingen, Texas, which is located just a few miles from the U.S.-Mexico border. The 35-year loan refinanced existing debt on the facility, which was built in 2012, which helps explain the high value and debt of $128,300 per bed.

Blackstone and Brookdale Senior Living are in the news again. Working with KeyBank Real Estate Capital’s healthcare business, the joint venture received about $703 million in financing to fund Blackstone’s acquisition of 64 Brookdale-operated communities from HCP, Inc.

Blackstone, now Ventas, Vying for Brookdale Senior Living
With rumors that Blackstone was out of the bidding for Brookdale Senior Living, it was then leaked that Ventas was in discussions. The saga never ends. We are certainly in weird times. Last week, it appeared that Blackstone was out of the bidding for Brookdale Senior Living, or at least a part of it. Then, it was leaked late Thursday that Ventas was in discussions to buy all or part of Brookdale. What happened the next day? Brookdale’s stock dropped 6.5% on volume of more than 19 million shares, or almost five times the average. So, did investors think Ventas would not pay as much as Blackstone would, and were disappointed? Perhaps, but then after the long weekend, Brookdale jumped back up... Read More »Schedule a demo
