Ziegler Closes Big Bond Financing For To-Be-Built CCRC

Ziegler Closes Big Bond Financing For To-Be-Built CCRC

A large CCRC is being built in Durham, New Hampshire thanks to a $110.48 million bond financing closed by Ziegler. There is clear interest in the development (and the marketing team must have done its job well), as once the community began accepting pre-sale deposits on January 15, 2018, it took just over a month to sell out with a 67-person wait list. Not too shabby. The community will feature 150 independent living units, 24 assisted living units, 24 memory care units and 24 skilled nursing beds on an 11-acre campus. Ziegler was engaged as placement agent for $52.98 million in Series A permanent bonds and $45.4 million in Series B temporary bonds issued through the New Hampshire Health... Read More »

Ziegler Zeroes In On Savings

Ziegler Zeroes In On Savings

The owner of two assisted living communities wasn’t in the mood to settle for second-best when it worked with Ziegler to refinance its existing permanent financing and receive a lower interest rate. The two communities are located in Redding, California, and include a stand-alone assisted living community with 60 units and an 85-unit assisted living/memory care community. Together, they had approximately $14.1 million in outstanding HUD debt originally financing by another HUD lender in 2014. However, the interest rate was in the mid-4s, which the borrower believed they could improve upon. Ziegler stepped in to arrange $14.7 million if HUD financing, locking in a lower interest rate and... Read More »
Ziegler Closes Big HUD Deal

Ziegler Closes Big HUD Deal

Most people think of the HUD 232 program as a financing tool used by for-profit entities. But not-for-profits can take advantage of the low rates as well. A case in point was the recent $94.3 million HUD loan arranged by Bill Mulligan and Ashley Wilkens of Ziegler for a senior living campus in North Central Florida. With more than 639 units, the loan came in around $147,500 per unit and had an interest rate just under 3.5%. The large campus has 511 unlicensed independent living/board and care units, plus 128 units licensed for assisted living and memory care. The Ziegler team was able to convince HUD that the large IL portion met the HUD parameters because although they were “independent... Read More »
