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.

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.

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.
