Fannie Mae Origination in Oregon

Fannie Mae Origination in Oregon

Almost five years after taking over the operations of a 92-unit senior living community in the town of The Dalles in northern Oregon, family-owned The Springs Living has become its sole owner, thanks to a $17.5 million Fannie Mae refinance arranged by Capital One’s Dague Retzlaff and Mark Bultman. Harrison Street Real Estate Capital bought the community as part of a four-property, 419-unit portfolio in November 2012 for a total of $65 million, or $155,130 per unit, and brought in The Springs to operate. At the time, the portfolio was 89% occupied and operated at a 26% margin on $15.65 million of revenues. We believe Harrison Street has since added value to the property, as it typically...

Public REITs can sell seniors housing assets too

Public REITs can sell seniors housing assets too

We’ve read a lot about public REITs shedding their skilled nursing assets, but that’s not all they’re selling. A publicly traded REIT sold a pair of West Coast assisted living communities for $23 million, or $365,079 per unit. There is a 48-bed/24-unit assisted living/memory care community in Corvallis, Oregon, and a 78-bed/39-unit AL community in Citrus Heights, California. Over 93% occupied, the communities earned around $6.5 million in annualized revenues. The buyer, Summit Healthcare REIT, triple-net leased the properties for a term of 10 years to an affiliate of Compass Senior Living. Acquisition financing was arranged by Capital One, and Tim Cobb of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate... Read More »
No community left behind

No community left behind

Capital One went back to a former client to close a HUD loan modification, taking advantage of the low-interest rate environment while they can (looking at you Mr. President-elect). A few years ago, the team at Capital One refinanced a portfolio of properties owned by Terrace Communities, which included a 15-year old, 71-unit assisted living/memory care community in Tequesta, Florida. However, because of a timing difference, that property closed with a higher interest rate than the rest of the portfolio. So Carolyn Whatley of Capital One went through HUD’s loan modification program to reduce the community’s interest rate. The non-recourse fixed-rate loan has over 32 years remaining on the...

CommuniCare grows

CommuniCare grows

CommuniCare Health Services is growing its portfolio yet again, purchasing nine skilled nursing facilities in Ohio and Maryland, after earlier this year acquiring six Maryland facilities and one in West Virginia. The seller was a publicly traded REIT. To finance the acquisition, Capital One served as sole lead arranger and administrative agent for a $61 million syndicated term loan and a $12 million syndicated revolving credit facility to affiliates of CommuniCare. The company seems to be priming itself to grow in the next year, as it received also in June a $13.7 million loan secured by the cash flow of seven of its skilled nursing facilities (and originated by Craig Casagrande of Capital...
