Only three years after buying a senior living community in Park Ridge, Illinois (Chicago MSA), Capitol Seniors Housing (CSH) is selling at a premium.

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.

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 »

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.

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 »
