Capitol Seniors Housing’s Premium Sale

Only three years after buying a senior living community in Park Ridge, Illinois (Chicago MSA), Capitol Seniors Housing (CSH) is selling at a premium. Originally built as a hotel in 1962 but converted to senior living in 1986, this property includes 154 units of independent living, assisted living and memory care.

Grandbridge Goes Green, Again

Grandbridge Goes Green, Again

Utilizing Fannie Mae’s Green Rewards financing product, Richard Thomas and Meredith Davis of Grandbridge Seniors Housing and Healthcare Finance Group arranged a $25.5 million acquisition loan to fund the purchase of a 93-unit assisted living/memory care community in Alpharetta, Georgia. Focus Healthcare Partners’ dedicated senior housing fund was the borrower and will retain The Arbor Company as the community’s operator. This type of transaction seems to have become a recent specialty of Grandbridge’s, as the firm so far in 2018 has closed nearly $300 million in financings through Fannie Mae’s Green Rewards program, across 13 properties, which is the most among Fannie Mae DUS lenders...

Aron Will Closes Two More Financings

Aron Will Closes Two More Financings

Heading into the Thanksgiving holiday, Aron Will of CBRE certainly had a bountiful month, closing nearly $80 million in two transactions. First, working on behalf of joint venture partners Harrison Street Real Estate Capital and The Springs Living®, Mr. Will arranged a $66.4 million construction loan to fund the construction of a 216-unit senior living community in Lake Oswego, Oregon (Portland MSA). A pair of national banks provided the floating rate loan, which came with a four-year term and 48 months of interest only. Using a conservative loan-to-value for the project, that would result in a per-unit value most likely above $400,000. The property’s location in one of the most affluent... Read More »

Mike Pardoll’s Southeast Swing

Marcus & Millichap’s Mike Pardoll crisscrossed the Southeast to close two transactions. First, Mr. Pardoll sold a 99-unit independent living community in Durham, North Carolina for $15.8 million, or about $160,000 per unit, with a 6.3% cap rate.

The community features an interior courtyard with an in-ground pool, bocce court, putting green and community garden, among other amenities at the property.... Read More »
Two Oregon Originations for Grandbridge Real Estate Capital

Two Oregon Originations for Grandbridge Real Estate Capital

Two Portland, Oregon-area seniors housing communities received financing from Grandbridge Real Estate Capital’s Seniors Housing and Healthcare Finance Group, headed by Richard Thomas and Meredith Davis. Starting in Portland proper, the team closed a $12 million non-recourse loan for a 58-unit assisted living/memory care community that at one point was the last acquisition of Sunwest Management before the company filed for bankruptcy protection. The original TIC investors then sold the community in late 2015 to Chicago-based Focus Healthcare Partners. Artegan began managing the 10-year old community, which was 85% occupied and earning over $630,000 in EBITDA at the time of the sale. Focus... Read More »
