Going, going, Greystone

A senior living community in Jacksonville, Florida with an unusual set-up traded hands with the help of Greystone.

The thaw in Canada

The thaw in Canada

The Canadian senior care M&A market seems to have thawed this Spring, with a hefty acquisition. Sienna Senior Living paid CAD$255 million ($201.7 million) acquisition of eight retirement/senior care communities in British Columbia. Known as the Baltic properties (though certainly not a Monopoly reference due to their quality), the portfolio includes two private pay independent living communities and six senior care communities that include both long-term care and assisted living. Plus, Sienna purchased a 50% interest in Pacific Seniors Management General Partnership, the current manager of the Baltic properties, as well as options to acquire up to 100% of two newly built seniors...

Greystone closes over $210 million

Greystone has been relatively quiet in the press over the last few months, but the lender was of course hard at work. Across 11 transactions (all previously unannounced since August 2015), the lender closed over $210 million in seniors housing lending transactions. The financings were for properties located across the country, ranging in size and services offered, from age-restricted housing to memory care. The loan amounts were as small as a $2 million bank loan to finance a land acquisition for seniors housing in Waldwick, New Jersey, to as large as a $46 million Freddie Mac refinance on a 209-unit independent living/assisted living/memory care community in Anaheim, California. There... Read More »

Two for one

Greystone completed its first transaction where it both assists with a sale and places the debt to fund it. Mike Garbers, a Managing Director of Greystone Real Estate Advisors, closed the sale of a 110-unit assisted living/memory care community in Virginia Beach, Virginia for $38 million, or an above-average $345,500 per unit. A private seniors housing owner is the seller, and Capital Senior Living is the buyer. Built in 2001, the assisted living portion includes 69 studios and 16 one-bedroom units, while the 25 memory care units (all studios) were added in 2012. To finance the transaction, Cary Tremper of Greystone’s Debt and Structured Finance Team secured a $28.5 million loan through a... Read More »
