Capital One Refinances Illinois Supportive Living Facility

Capital One Refinances Illinois Supportive Living Facility

Joshua Rosen of Capital One successfully refinanced a large supportive living facility in Des Plaines, Illinois (Chicago MSA). Originally built in 1967 as an independent/supportive living facility, its owners decided to upgrade the independent living portion to assisted living in 2015. They then built a 71-bed skilled nursing wing in 2018, adding to the existing 162 AL and 150 supportive living units. The refinance wasn’t straightforward, as part of the property was in a floodway. But Mr. Rosen identified an opportunity to legally change the survey plat to carve out a floodway, enabling the refinance to continue. The borrower, a repeat Capital One customer, received a $28.4 million HUD... Read More »
Senior Living Investment Brokerage Rises This Fall

Senior Living Investment Brokerage Rises This Fall

As September turned to October, Senior Living Investment Brokerage announced an impressive run of transactions. First, Jason Punzel, Brad Goodsell and Vince Viverito sold two memory care communities in California for $17 million, or $347,000 per unit, with a 9.5% cap rate. With that high price, you might assume the facilities had just opened or were fully occupied, or both. Instead, the communities were built in the mid-1980s (one was renovated in 2001) and were occupied in the mid-80s. They were small too, totaling just 49 units across the two locations (in Menlo Park and Sunnyvale). The operating margin was a solid 32% on nearly $5 million of revenues, and rents were high (close to... Read More »
