HJ Sims executes $22.5 million refinance

A CCRC in Annapolis, Maryland with a securitized $17 million mortgage that did not allow a prepayment (current balance was down to $15 million) secured a bank refinance with the help of HJ Sims. The CCRC already had a history with HJ Sims, having received a $48 million construction loan and $8.4 million of development capital from them in 2001 and the $17 million mortgage in 2005.

Plus, the CCRC had been servicing an outstanding subordinate loan from the original developers ($300,000 of which was... Read More »

Plus, the new SNFs can only have a maximum of 280 beds. So, in April 2014, JSS broke ground on a... Read More »
