Fannie Mae Origination in Oregon

Fannie Mae Origination in Oregon

Almost five years after taking over the operations of a 92-unit senior living community in the town of The Dalles in northern Oregon, family-owned The Springs Living has become its sole owner, thanks to a $17.5 million Fannie Mae refinance arranged by Capital One’s Dague Retzlaff and Mark Bultman. Harrison Street Real Estate Capital bought the community as part of a four-property, 419-unit portfolio in November 2012 for a total of $65 million, or $155,130 per unit, and brought in The Springs to operate.

Welltower’s half-billion-dollar buy

After owning what is known as the Aston Gardens portfolio in Florida for just two and a half years, Kayne Anderson Real Estate Advisors has sold the six-property portfolio with 1,930 units to a joint venture between Welltower and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) for $555 million. They will own a 97.5% interest, so grossed up to 100% equates to a per-unit value of $295,000. The manager, Discovery Senior Living, will retain a 2.5% interest, down from 10% with the previous owner. Kayne Anderson bought the portfolio in late 2013 for an estimated $400 million from GE Healthcare Finance. During GE’s ownership, occupancy had dropped from 95% to below 85%, which caused them to remove... Read More »
