Ziegler Refinances Virginia CCRC With Bank Placement

Ziegler Refinances Virginia CCRC With Bank Placement

Ziegler announced another bank financing after a spate of recent closings, including a construction financing for a Michigan CCRC, a refinance of a Pennsylvania CCRC and one for a CCRC in Texas, just to name a few. The most recent deal was arranged for Warm Hearth Village, a not-for-profit CCRC in Blacksburg, Virginia that was founded in 1974. It has since grown to 259 independent living units, 55 active adult units, 150 assisted living units and 60 skilled nursing beds on a 220-acre campus.   There were nine outstanding direct bank placements with three different banks on the property, so ownership sought to consolidate debt and also fund about $2 million in planned campus...

Ziegler Secures Short-Term and Long-Term Debt for CCRC Client

The bank bond placements keep coming from Ziegler, and the specialty investment bank has already announced several in the last few weeks for not-for-profit CCRC clients. The latest was arranged for a 362-bed/unit CCRC in Manheim, Pennsylvania, that is sponsored by the not-for-profit Pleasant View Communities. Just like Ziegler’s refinance of a CCRC in Texas announced last week, Truist was involved in the deal, as was Fulton Bank, to provide both short-term and long-term debt.  A couple of planned expansion projects spurred the refinance. Opened in 1954 and growing to include 152 independent living apartments and cottages, 95 personal care (assisted living) units and 115 skilled nursing... Read More »
Ziegler Arranges Another Bank Bond Financing

Ziegler Arranges Another Bank Bond Financing

We know that the lending market has slowed considerably, and has been perhaps the main reason for M&A coming to a crawl, but just a week after arranging a bank bond refinance for a CCRC client, Ziegler has arranged another one for a CCRC in Texas, resulting in a total of more than $150 million in proceeds across the two transactions. That’s an impressive sum these days.  Most recently, Ziegler refinanced Westminster, a not-for-profit entrance-fee CCRC in Austin, Texas. Founded in 1972, Westminster has grown over the years to include 327 independent living units, 22 assisted living units, 30 memory care units and 55 skilled nursing beds on a 9.3-acre campus. Life Care Services (LCS) has... Read More »
