Q&A With Bluma Broner of CIBC Bank USA: Lending In The Current COVID Climate

Q&A With Bluma Broner of CIBC Bank USA: Lending In The Current COVID Climate

by | Jan 11, 2021 8:56 am | Financings

Banks and other lenders will play a deciding role in when the senior care M&A and construction markets return to some sort of “normal.” Transaction activity was quite strong in the fourth quarter of 2020, particularly in December, but will we see that continue into 2021? And investors may have to change how they arrange their capital stacks. We asked Bluma Broner of CIBC Bank USA for her thoughts on lending in 2020 and how her team adapted to the unique crisis facing the industry.  Was your breakdown between acquisition loans, construction loans and refinancings similar to previous years? If not, what changed? And if you know, why?  Between March and December 2020,... Read More »
Meridian Capital Group Closes Out 2020 In Style

Meridian Capital Group Closes Out 2020 In Style

by | Jan 5, 2021 4:06 pm | Acquisitions, Financings

To say that Meridian Capital Group had a strong 2020 would be an understatement. Amid all sorts of obstacles that were only compounded by COVID-19 and widespread lockdowns, the firm closed more than $3 billion in transaction volume in 2020, with $776 million for 76 seniors housing and healthcare facilities in 16 states closed over the last six weeks of the year. To reach that kind of volume in a year like 2020 is quite the accomplishment, and we congratulate Senior Managing Directors Ari Adlerstein and Ari Dobkin, Managing Director Josh Simpson, Vice Presidents Matt Lesnik and Jesse Rauch, and Associate David Gottlieb on their efforts.  Acquisition financings seemed to dominate...

CIBC Bank Funds Another SNF Acquisition

CIBC Bank Funds Another SNF Acquisition

by | Dec 3, 2020 5:27 pm | Acquisitions, Financings

CIBC Bank USA arranged yet another acquisition loan for a Mid-Atlantic skilled nursing facility. With an effective age of 35 years, this Baltimore, Maryland facility features 130 beds. Historically, occupancy was in the 80% range, and EBITDAR margins approximated 22%. That’s more than strong for a SNF. The existing operator, who had been leasing the facility since 2015 and clearly doing a good job, is now buying the SNF.  That’s where CIBC comes in, with Tim Wurpts arranging a $20 million acquisition loan on the real estate, which comes out to nearly $155,000 per bed. So, the purchase price is almost certainly higher than that, which makes sense given the level of cash flow... Read More »
