Morning Pointe Lands $106M Refi for Senior Housing Portfolio

Tennessee-based affiliates of Morning Pointe Senior Living have received $106.2 million in refinancing for an eight-property senior housing portfolio, totaling 567 units. Seven of the assets are located across the state of Tennessee and one in Kentucky.

Greystone Managing Director Neal Raburn originated the Freddie Mac Optigo loans on behalf of the borrower. The fixed-rate, non-recourse financing was structured through Freddie Mac’s Index Lock program and carries a 10-year term with a 30-year amortization period. With five years of interest-only payments, the owner has access to supplemental loan financing up to 75 percent LTV.

Completed between 1997 and 2021, the senior communities offer assisted living and memory care services, featuring a mix of studio, alcove, one- and two-bedroom floorplans.
