Specifically, the joint venture will offer first mortgage floating rate bridge loans, fixed-rate conventional term loans and permanent financing through FHA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The partnership will also cover tax-exempt bond financing, equity capital, mezzanine and preferred equity products.

Alan Litt, co-founder at Monticello, said in prepared remarks that the company will be able to combine its proprietary technology with Greystone’s large presence in the middle-market bridge and FHA-insured loans market.
Complementing each other
Prior to the joint venture proposal, the two companies were heavily involved in the senior housing and health-care finance sectors on their own. Greystone originated more than $3 billion in senior housing and health-care finance through FHA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, bridge and other loans.
In December, Greystone originated $23.8 million in HUD financing for three assisted living communities in New Hampshire. A month prior, Greystone also arranged a $10.4 million refi for a skilled nursing facility in Boonville, N.Y.
As for Monticello, the partnering company is involved in more than $1.8 billion in senior housing and health-care loans across the U.S.
“Greystone’s had a long relationship with the MONTICELLOAM team and they’re similar to us in their creativity and nimble nature,” Stephen Rosenberg, CEO of Greystone, told Multi-Housing News. “This JV will help expand our businesses for both, while increasing options and access for our clients in senior housing and health care.”
