Capital Senior Living buys eight communities

Dallas—Capital Senior Living Corp. has purchased eight senior living communities for a purchase price of $72.9 million. The assisted living and memory assets are located in Texas, Indiana and Ohio. The purchases were financed with an aggregate of approximately $50.2 million of non-recourse mortgage debt and approximately $18 million of bridge financing.

The exceptional returns generated by these acquisitions complement the positive results we are achieving in our operations with increases in occupancy and average monthly rents.”

NorthMarq employs Freddie Mac early-rate lock for $20.6M refi

Kissimmee, Fla.—David Schofield, senior director, and Robert Rothaug, investment analyst, of NorthMarq’s Orlando Regional office, arranged first mortgage refinancing of $20.6 million for Lake Tivoli Apartments, a 384-unit market-rate multifamily community located at 851 Lake Tivoli Boulevard in Kissimmee, Fla.

Financing was based on a 10-year term and a 30-year amortization schedule. NorthMarq arranged this early-rate lock financing for the borrower, Lake Tivoli Apartments LLC, through its seller-servicer relationship with Freddie Mac.

“We were able to lock the interest rate on this loan earlier in the year for a funding in August when the loan became open for prepayment,” says Schofield. “Freddie Mac’s Early Rate Lock option was a perfect fit for this transaction.”
