Northmarq Arranges $35M Refi for Seattle-Area Community
The senior housing property features independent units, assisted living and memory care residences.
Northmarq has secured a $35 million refinancing loan for The Lodge at Mallard’s Landing, a 147-unit senior housing community in Gig Harbor, Wash. This deal marks the third financing the firm has arranged for the property over the past decade.
Senior Vice President & Managing Director Stuart Oswald of Northmarq’s Seattle office has arranged the six-year, fixed-rate loan through a correspondent life insurance company. The loan was rate locked at just under 6 percent and features an earn-out component allowing the borrower to draw additional financing as the NOI improves.
Senior Services of America manages the community. At the time of the deal, The Lodge at Mallard’s Landing’s occupancy was over 95 percent.
The Lodge at Mallard’s Landing features a three-story main building with 98 independent and assisted living units, 24 independent living cottages and a separate, secured two-story building with 25 memory care units.
Built in two phases from 2010 to 2015, The Lodge at Mallard’s Landing incorporates studios, one- and two-bedroom floorplans. Common-area amenities include a fitness center, a library, a computer room, five dining locations, a courtyard, a gazebo and walking paths.
