CFG Capital Markets Advises on Seniors Housing Sale

We typically see Capital Funding Group in the financing side of the business, boasting a steady stream of agency and bridge loan closings of late. But CFG Capital Markets, its investment banking and securities subsidiary, has just announced they represented the seller in its disposition of two seniors housing communities operated by Oxford Senior Living. Located in Derby, Kansas (Wichita MSA), the 48-unit stand-alone memory care community was built in two phases in 2011 and 2013. The McKinney, Texas community features 73 units of assisted living and memory care, and only just opened in January 2017 at a cost of $15 million, or $205,500 per unit.

Recap with MidCap

Recap with MidCap

A few years after acquiring an independent living community in Payson, Arizona (located in the middle of the Tonto National Forest), Compass Senior Living is refinancing the property, with the help of MidCap Financial. Originally built in 2006 by a not-for-profit operator, this 50-unit community was eventually sold to Compass in 2014. Since then, occupancy and operating margin have improved, and the property’s value, thus, increased. The $4.5 million floating rate loan came with a three-year term and not only refinanced existing debt, but also recaptured equity that was originally committed to the 2014 acquisition. Read More »
MidCap acquires HUD lender Pineview

MidCap acquires HUD lender Pineview

With HUD transaction volume expected to rise in the senior care industry, following the recent debt-seasoning requirement (among other) changes, it’s no wonder MidCap Financial wants to establish a presence there in acquiring Pineview Capital Group, an experienced Denver-based HUD lender. With the benefit of its balance sheet, MidCap already boasts an array of services, including life sciences loans, first mortgage financing and mezzanine debt, ranging in size from $5 million to $100 million. This is also an opportunity to expand Pineview’s lending capabilities to a larger client base. The goal of the transaction is for both teams to become the single point of contact for borrowers through... Read More »

Monarch Senior Living is trying something new in seniors housing development. The company acquired a vacant 17,800 square-foot medical office building (MOB) in La Jolla, California for $7.115 million, which it plans to convert into a 26-unit/44-bed memory care community. Monarch will own the community with Menlo Park, California-based real estate equity sponsor HG Capital, and will also manage it upon completion.
