Capital One Closes A Big One

Capital One flexed its banking muscles when it provided just over $551 million in financing to Kayne Anderson Real Estate Advisors (KAREA) for its purchase of Sentio Healthcare Properties. Announced back in May, the high-profile acquisition included all 34 of Sentio’s seniors housing and medical office properties, and was valued around $825 million. To fund the deal, Capital One provided KAREA a $251 million bridge loan and a $300 million Freddie Mac seniors housing revolving credit facility. We imagine a lot of time was spent on this large, complex transaction. Well done. Another Capital One deal came across the wires, albeit a little smaller than the KAREA deal. Joshua Rosen originated a... Read More »

Capital One Helps Refinance Pacifica Companies’ Portfolio

In one of the largest financings of the July, Capital One provided a $77.7 million loan to Pacifica Companies to refinance nine seniors housing communities in Arizona, California, Florida, Oregon and Utah. The loan consists of $67.7 million in initial funding plus an earn-out feature, which is contingent on specific conditions. That gives Pacifica the opportunity to recapture additional equity as newly renovated units lease up. Read More »

Capital One Heads To HUD

The future for a 40-year old skilled nursing facility is not rosy, as we have discussed recently, and with every passing year, it becomes bleaker. These facilities face new competition in the form of short-term rehab and transitional care facilities, which feature nearly all private rooms and take a majority of the Medicare patients. And with lengths of stay decreasing, reimbursement tightening and wages increasing, an older SNF has fewer options to remain profitable while still providing quality care. There are potential solutions, however, which the experienced owner/operators of a skilled nursing facility in Gresham, Oregon (Portland MSA) are putting into practice. The 128-bed facility...
