CBRE Finds Financing With Freddie Mac

CBRE Finds Financing With Freddie Mac

Aron Will of CBRE worked with Freddie Mac for his two latest transactions, and crisscrossed the country to do so. First, with Andrew Behrens of CBRE Multifamily Institutional Group, Mr. Will closed a $29.8 million financing for a 144-unit senior living community in Escondido, California (San Diego MSA). Purchased in 2012 by Westmont Living, the community underwent a three-year capital improvement project that involved adding a 22-unit memory care wing. It clearly worked, as occupancy stands at 92% for the property. Westmont received a 10-year, fixed-rate loan with 60 months of interest only payments. Then, to Cincinnati, Ohio, where Mr. Will arranged acquisition financing (again through... Read More »
CBRE Sells A Second First Centrum Independent Living Community

CBRE Sells A Second First Centrum Independent Living Community

CBRE sold another First Centrum independent living community in Virginia, a couple of years after selling the developer’s 118-unit Glen Allen (Richmond MSA) community for $25.88 million, or $219,280 per unit. The latest deal featured a 120-unit community in Williamsburg. Built in 2010 by First Centrum, it features a range of unit options, from 660- to 940-square foot one bedroom units to 880- to 1,267-SF two-bedroom suites. Current asking rents start at around $2,200 for the one-bedrooms and go up to about $2,900 for two bedrooms. Operations were strong, with a near-50% margin, and it was well-occupied, at 94%, which was certainly helped by the property’s location near historic Colonial... Read More »

Capital One Closes A Big One

Capital One flexed its banking muscles when it provided just over $551 million in financing to Kayne Anderson Real Estate Advisors (KAREA) for its purchase of Sentio Healthcare Properties. Announced back in May, the high-profile acquisition included all 34 of Sentio’s seniors housing and medical office properties, and was valued around $825 million. To fund the deal, Capital One provided KAREA a $251 million bridge loan and a $300 million Freddie Mac seniors housing revolving credit facility. We imagine a lot of time was spent on this large, complex transaction. Well done. Another Capital One deal came across the wires, albeit a little smaller than the KAREA deal. Joshua Rosen originated a... Read More »
All Business For Berkadia

All Business For Berkadia

The closings keep on coming from Berkadia, which recently facilitated two Freddie Mac financings and a bridge-to-HUD loan for several clients. Heidi Brunet and Chris Honn teamed up to arrange a 10-year, $30 million Freddie Mac loan to refinance a 120-unit independent living community in the Columbus, Ohio area. Recently built in 2015, the community was nearly stabilized, prompting the new client to pay off its existing construction debt with this transaction. Ms. Brunet also assisted an older senior living community to refinance with a 10-year, $44 million Freddie Mac loan. Located in South Florida, the property consists of four buildings with 268 independent living and 55 assisted living... Read More »
Berkadia Gets Busy

Berkadia Gets Busy

The team at Berkadia has been busy lately, closing seven HUD, Fannie Mae and bridge loans for a number of clients across the country. Managing Director Heidi Brunet handled five of those for two separate borrowers. First, two years after it opened, an 87-unit assisted living/memory care community in South Carolina is refinancing its construction debt with an $18.5 million, 10-year, fixed-rate Fannie Mae loan. Lease-up has evidently gone well, as occupancy stands at 93%. The same borrower also received from Ms. Brunet a $5.3 million, 10-year, fixed-rate supplemental loan through Freddie Mac to fund an expansion project at a high-end Virginia CCRC. The property was originally built in 2011... Read More »
