• Here We Go Again With The Post

    The Washington Post is on the attack again, publishing a story last Friday on the overuse of 911 calls when a resident falls in assisted living or independent living, and how some towns are starting to charge seniors housing communities a fee for each 911 visit of this sort. Apparently, in some towns these 911 “fall” calls have been rising. If we... Read More »

Carnegie Capital Finances Western Seniors Housing Deal

Carnegie Capital Finances Western Seniors Housing Deal

JD Stettin of Carnegie Capital announced a couple of loan closings that funded the acquisition of two senior living communities in Montana and Wyoming. If that deal sounds familiar, it’s because we covered Senior Living Investment Brokerage’s involvement in it earlier this week.   Totaling a combined 107 units, split between 61 independent living and 46 assisted living units, the deal included a community built in 1995 in Cody, Wyoming and one in Great Falls, Montana that opened in 2003. They’re in good condition and reported positive cash flow, but occupancy could be improved, currently sitting at 72% at the Cody location and 87% in Great Falls. Both... Read More »
Carnegie Capital Closes Fairfield County Construction Loan

Carnegie Capital Closes Fairfield County Construction Loan

An assisted living/memory care community that broke ground in Fairfield County, Connecticut this Spring (quite a time for that) just received bank financing arranged by JD Stettin of Carnegie Capital. The five-year construction loan totaled $24.5 million, or nearly $190,000 per unit, and came with a low-4% interest rate. At 65% loan-to-value, that puts the construction cost at nearly $37.7 million, or about $290,000 per unit. For Fairfield County, that is about right.   Mr. Stettin sourced and structured the loan with a national healthcare-focused bank and a participating regional bank. A major national healthcare developer was the borrower and built the community to include... Read More »

Carnegie Capital Closes Two Financings

Carnegie Capital Closes Two Financings

Carnegie Capital showed its strength this month, announcing two loan closings in Georgia and Ohio. First, J.D. Stettin sourced and structured $10 million in bridge loans to fund the acquisition of two skilled nursing facilities and 177 beds in Macon and Warner Robins, Georgia (Atlanta MSA). The financing, which came with an interest-only term and no prepayment penalties, featured a loan-to-cost of 80%, so we have estimated the purchase price to be around $70,600 per bed. Then, Mr. Stettin refinanced a brand-new assisted living/memory care community in Cleveland, Ohio with a $16 million loan. A local community bank provided the original $9.5 million construction loan for the community,... Read More »
