HJ Sims Refinances Michigan Provider

HJ Sims Refinances Michigan Provider

It took a couple of tries, but HJ Sims arranged $41.9 million in financing for Sunset Retirement Communities, a multi-campus, not-for-profit senior living provider in Michigan. The company has grown its holdings over the past decade, starting development on its Jenison campus in 2009 and completing it in 2015. Then, after completing a market study in March 2020, Sunset determined to add a Phase III with 62 independent living apartments, 20 IL villas and amenity spaces. That was not an ideal time to begin filling a new community. After approaching potential lenders in May 2020, Sunset delayed the financing in order to focus on its existing operations. However, HJ Sims continued to explore... Read More »

HJ Sims Handles CCRC Bond Refinance

HJ Sims Handles CCRC Bond Refinance

HJ Sims worked on behalf of The Bethel Methodist Home, a not-for-profit CCRC in Valhalla, New York, to refinance the property’s existing acquisition bonds. Opening in 2002 and offering a continuum of services from independent living to skilled nursing, the property experienced financial difficulty during the Great Recession (few entrance fee CCRCs escaped that fate) and ultimately filed for bankruptcy protection in 2015. That process resulted in a 2016 sale which was funded by both tax-exempt and taxable bonds privately placed with a single bond holder and coming with a high interest rate.   New management turned around the operations, with occupancy rising from 57% to 91% just before the...

There will also be renovations of the existing assisted living and skilled nursing areas, a new health and wellness... Read More »
