    Berkadia closed the sale of Oakleigh of Macomb, an 85-unit assisted living/memory care community in Macomb, Michigan (Detroit MSA). Built in 2019, the community has 55 assisted living and 30 memory care units. It was 91% occupied, so given its vintage and performance, we imagine it attracted significant investor interest.

CIBC Closes Loans For Three SNFs

CIBC Closes Loans For Three SNFs

CIBC Bank USA recently closed loans for two skilled nursing facilities in Ohio and one in California. The first financing package included a $12.4 million acquisition loan and a $1.2 million capital expenditure loan with a five-year term for a 100-bed SNF in southern California, provided by CIBC’s Matthew Tyler and Neal Netzel. The 20-year old facility has been leased by the buyer for the past 10 years and has had a historical occupancy of 85%. EBITDAR margins have recently resided in the low double-digits, with revenues nearing $14 million. The next transaction was a $10 million cash-out refinance for a 100-bed SNF in Ohio. The 15-year old facility was owned by a local owner/operator.... Read More »
CIBC Bank USA Refinances California Portfolio

CIBC Bank USA Refinances California Portfolio

CIBC Bank USA recently closed a $76 million transaction for a California-based operator to refinance acquisition debt on three formerly distressed properties in the Golden State. Those properties include two skilled nursing facilities and one assisted living community. The deal included a $60 million term loan and a $16 million working capital facility.   The term loan will also help support the company’s overall balance sheet, while the working capital will be used across the 13 properties and more than 1,000 beds in the operator’s portfolio.  Read More »
CIBC Closes Cash-Out Financing In Illinois

CIBC Closes Cash-Out Financing In Illinois

Working on behalf of a local owner/operator, CIBC Bank USA has closed a cash-out refinance of a portfolio of three skilled nursing facilities in Illinois. Totaling $11 million, the loan comes with a five-year term. Neal Netzel and Mathew Tyler handled the transaction for CIBC.   These facilities, which have an effective age of 30 years, total 260 beds. They have been historically well occupied around 85%, which is a solid figure for the sector in the last several years. Also, EBITDAR margins have been strong in the mid-teens. Most operators would happily take that. With those good operations, we imagine the owner was able to extract some equity from the... Read More »

CIBC Bank USA Refinances Two Tennessee SNFs

Two skilled nursing facilities in Tennessee recently refinanced their debt with the help of CIBC Bank USA. Totaling 340 licensed beds with an effective age of 20 years, the facilities have been run by a local operator for a number of years. Under that management, effective occupancy has been in the 70% range, with EBITDAR margins in the high-teens, which is quite good for SNFs these days.   With that lower occupancy, we’re guessing there was a healthy Medicare and/or private pay patient census. Ownership obtained a five-year, $20 million loan on the real estate, also giving them some cash out. CIBC Bank USA also helped secured a $1.0 million capital expenditures facility for... Read More »
