Healthpeak Expands Oakmont Relationship

by | Dec 20, 2019 6:00 am | Acquisitions

Healthpeak is yet again expanding its relationship with Oakmont Senior Living, after already making a couple of acquisitions with the operator earlier this year. The two companies entered into an agreement that provides Healthpeak the option to acquire up to 24 of Oakmont’s seniors housing development pipeline, when Oakmont decides to sell. Concentrated in California, the communities will have a projected aggregate value of approximately $1.3 billion. They will be offered for sale in tranches from 2020 to 2023, including about $200 million in expected sales in the first half of 2020. Once offered, the REIT will have the option to acquire each applicable tranche based on a pre-determined... Read More »
HCP Is Making Moves

HCP Is Making Moves

by | May 6, 2019 7:01 am | Acquisitions

HCP, Inc. caused a stir this month with a couple of large acquisitions totaling $558 million. The industry hasn’t seen that kind of large-scale activity in some time, as many of the REITs seemed to be biding their time, at least for big acquisitions. Occupancy woes, overdevelopment and higher labor costs seemed to be some of the causes for that added caution. HCP themselves were some of the biggest sellers recently, having sold $1.5 billion in seniors housing assets over the past five quarters. But now, HCP is jumping back into the seniors housing M&A pool with a couple of acquisitions of new, high-quality assets. The properties’ ages should help assuage some of those occupancy...

Greystone’s Freddie Mac First

by | Apr 5, 2017 7:00 am | Financings

In a first for the seniors housing industry, Greystone closed Freddie Mac’s first-ever lease-up loan for a client in Northern California. More common in the multifamily market, the lease-up program is for experienced clients to lock-in low interest rates earlier in the process for refinancing newly-built properties. Now, for a just-built 66-unit assisted living/memory care community in San Jose, the team of Scott Kavel, Neal Raburn and Cary Tremper of Greystone provided a $27.5 million Freddie Mac loan, with an 11-year term, 30-year amortization and a fixed interest rate. The loan takes out the original construction loan just three months after the community opened. We suspect lease-up was... Read More »

Greystone expanded its relationship yet again with Oakmont Senior Living. Having previously provided a $150 million Freddie Mac credit revolver (including an additional $23.5 million tranche provided last month) and an $18.8 million Freddie Mac loan for Oakmont’s Fresno, California property, Greystone continued its work by closing a $58.34 million Freddie Mac refinance for Oakmont’s 163-unit independent living community in Santa Rosa, California.

Greystone was able to procure a fixed... Read More »
