by | Aug 12, 2015 8:32 am | Acquisitions

As many of you will read in this month’s issue of The SeniorCare Investor, we discuss the difficulties in valuing an entrance-fee CCRC and a rental CCRC. But how do you value a CCRC that is in the middle of transitioning from entrance fee to all-rental? That was the problem facing a faith-based nonprofit looking to sell its CCRC in St. Louis, Missouri. Built in 1984, 2003 and 2013, the community features 110 independent living units, 22 assisted living units, 22 memory care units and 41 skilled nursing beds. The owner exclusively operates entrance-fee communities, but during the Great Recession, they decided to convert the St. Louis community to all-rental. However, because of the move,... Read More »

HJ Sims executes $22.5 million refinance

by | Jul 15, 2015 8:31 am | Financings

A CCRC in Annapolis, Maryland with a securitized $17 million mortgage that did not allow a prepayment (current balance was down to $15 million) secured a bank refinance with the help of HJ Sims. The CCRC already had a history with HJ Sims, having received a $48 million construction loan and $8.4 million of development capital from them in 2001 and the $17 million mortgage in 2005. Because this mortgage was due on January 1, 2016, the CCRC had to defease the existing mortgage by escrowing all future principal and interest payments, thereby creating negative arbitrage. Plus, the CCRC had been servicing an outstanding subordinate loan from the original developers ($300,000 of which was... Read More »
