ROC making a comeback

ROC making a comeback

One of the larger acquirers of the past few years, but that has been taking somewhat of a breather in 2016, may be back on the deal hunt soon. ROC Seniors Housing Fund Manager, LLC, whose parent company is Bridge Investment Group Partners, was quite active in the couple of years following its end-of-2013 creation, acquiring 43 senior living properties in 2014 and 2015 alone. Based on disclosed prices in our database, ROC also spent nearly a half billion in those two years. However, in 2016, the investor has so far only announced two transactions, each including a single CCRC, but both without a disclosed price. We should hopefully see some new announcements coming, with ROC’s parent... Read More »

Berkadia secures $93 million in financing

We wrote last month of ROC Seniors Housing Fund Manager’s purchase of 14 senior living properties with 1,038 units from a joint venture between Iron Point Partners and Meridian Senior Living for an undisclosed price. The portfolio was mostly assisted living (719 units), with 208 memory care units and 111 independent living units as well.

Berkadia also contributed $20 million of the overall financing through its Proprietary Bridge Lending Platform.
