After announcing plans to purchase Sentio Healthcare Properties for an all-cash price of $825 million, Kayne Anderson Real Estate Advisors had Capital One secured a balance sheet and agency loans for the acquisition. Capital One Healthcare provided two loans, a $251 million bridge loan and a $300 million Freddie Mac senior housing revolving credit facility.
Representing more than $2.6 billion in transaction value, these acquisitions made KAREA, at the time of the Sentio purchase, the 27th largest owner of senior housing in the U.S. The real estate private equity arm of Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, KAREA has invested in 73 private-pay, senior living communities totaling 10,000, since September 2013.
