A few weeks ago, we reported the closing of the highest-priced single-asset seniors housing sale in the state of Oregon.

KeyBank Closes Two Fannie and Freddie Financings

Charlie Shoop of KeyBank Real Estate Capital has been hard at work arranging two financings from two different agencies.

The floating-rate loan came with a seven-year term, four-year interest only period and 30-year amortization schedule. Its recipient was Chicago Pacific Founders, which purchased the nine-year old community from Capitol Seniors Housing (CSH) for an undisclosed price. CSH had originally bought the property in 2016 when it was around 95% occupied and operating well. At the time, CSH had plans to invest in some capital... Read More »
