BOISE — MedEquities Realty Trust has provided a $19 million acquisition and construction loan to fund the purchase and conversion of an existing long-term acute care hospital to a 72-bed inpatient psychiatric hospital in Boise. Haven Behavioral Healthcare operates six inpatient psychiatric hospitals in Arizona, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas.
The firm provides inpatient psychiatric stabilization and treatment to adults experiencing acute symptoms of depression, anxiety, psychosis or other severe behavioral problems. The loan has a three-year term and an annual interest rate of 10 percent.
Upon completion of the planned renovation, MedEquities has the exclusive right to acquire the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding loan balance in a sale-leaseback transaction that would include a 15-year triple-net master lease at an initial lease rate of 9.3 percent.
