CBRE Sells Five Communities in the Great Lakes Area

CBRE Sells Five Communities in the Great Lakes Area

Lisa Widmier of CBRE Senior Housing has sold a portfolio of five assisted living/memory care communities in the Great Lakes region.

Occupancy fell below 50%, and not surprisingly, the portfolio was not making any money at the time of the sale.  Lone Star Funds and alternative investment manager Hudson Advisors acquired the portfolio from an unnamed seller. The purchase price was not revealed, we have heard it may have exceeded $115 million, or more than $225,000 per unit. Considering how far occupancy needs to come to improve both margin and...

CBRE Finances Active Adult Development in Chicagoland

CBRE Finances Active Adult Development in Chicagoland

A new active adult development that is set to break ground just received financing courtesy of CBRE and a national bank. Aron Will, Austin Sacco and Matthew Kuronen of CBRE Senior Housing partnered with CBRE Chicago’s Debt and Structured Finance’s John Parret and Peter Marino to arrange the $43 million construction loan.   The to-be-built community is located in Chicagoland and will feature around 190 units.
