NORTH CAROLINA — Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC has originated $85.9 million in financing for a portfolio of 15 seniors housing communities in North Carolina. Christopher Fenton of Berkadia worked with subsidiaries of Chevalier Group to secure the 35-year, fixed-rate financing through HUD’s 232/223(f) program. The loans are fully amortizing and feature a fixed 4.03 percent interest rate. Meridian Senior Living operates the 15 facilities, which consist of 1,136 beds and are approximately 90 percent occupied. The borrower will use the loans to refinance prior debts, which Berkadia originated in conjunction with GE Capital Healthcare Financial Services in 2012.
