Frontier Moving Forward With Financing From Columbia Pacific Advisors

Fresh off of Frontier Management’s ownership restructuring, it was business as usual for the firm, which obtained financing for its newly opened standalone memory care community in Tucson, Arizona.

The transaction allows Frontier to continue stabilizing the community and pursue its next development project. The loan, which Frontier expects to pay off within 18 months, was underwritten at a loan-to-value of 66%, but that goes down to 56% upon... Read More »

Good News from Brookdale and Capital Senior Living

Good News from Brookdale and Capital Senior Living

Finally, we have had some good news from the two largest publicly traded senior living companies, Brookdale Senior Living and Capital Senior Living. Let’s just say, it has been a long time coming. Capital Senior Living reported a sequential increase in occupancy of 30 basis points in the third quarter, an increase that was continuing to rise in September and into October, so the fourth quarter should be upbeat as well. In fact, from June to September same-community occupancy increased by 90 basis points. These numbers exclude their two communities impacted by Hurricane Harvey. On the negative side, labor costs increased by 4% in the third quarter, which contributed to a 2.4% decline in... Read More »
