A Bay Area senior living community recently refinanced with the help of the A-team at CBRE that included Andrew Behrens, Aron Will, Austin Sacco and Adam Mincberg.

Greystone Refinances on the Jersey Shore

Greystone Refinances on the Jersey Shore

It was a team effort from Greystone to successfully close a Fannie Mae refinance of an assisted living community on the New Jersey Shore. Working on behalf of the borrower, Sage Healthcare Partners, Greystone’s DJ Elefant originated the $24 million loan, with Neal Raburn providing support in structuring, underwriting and closing the transaction.

PGIM Refinances Kentucky Communities Through Fannie Mae

PGIM Refinances Kentucky Communities Through Fannie Mae

Christopher Fenton of PGIM Real Estate Finance originated the refinances of two Morning Pointe assisted living/memory care communities in Kentucky. This transaction comes just two years after both communities were built, so the market research clearly worked since occupancy has already cleared 90% at the two locations. There was a 60-unit AL/MC community in Danville, Kentucky located near a regional medical center and a 44-unit memory care community in Russell, also located near a top Kentucky hospital. So, location clearly helped too. Working with Fannie Mae, PGIM provided a $7.5 million loan for the Danville property ($125,000 per unit) and a $7.8 million loan for the Russell community...
