Sims Closes $93M Bond Financing for Construction of Seniors Housing in New Hampshire

by Amy Works July 20, 2017

KEENE, N.H. — HJ Sims has closed $93 million in tax-exempt bonds, which will be used toward the development of Hillside Village, a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) in Keene. The borrower, The Prospect-Woodward Home, is the nonprofit operator of an assisted living facility in Keene. The company recognized that there were no CCRCs in the area that would allow seniors to stay in Keene as they age. Eighty percent of the independent living apartments were already reserved at the time of bond closing. Prospect-Woodward expects to break ground this year on the 48-acre campus. New Hampshire Health and Education Facilities Authority issued the bonds. Sims immediately sold 20 percent of the bonds — $18 million — to individual investors. Sims created three series of Entrance Fee Principal Redemption Bonds to capture initial entrance fees from new residents and to reduce debt quickly. The lender expects the program to allow Prospect-Woodward to redeem 40 percent of the bonds within three years.

Fannie Mae Off to Hot Start, Freddie Mac Pushing Past Market ‘Disruption’ That Slowed Its First-Quarter Production

by John Nelson July 19, 2017

Fannie Mae started off the year with a bang, producing $17.4 billion in multifamily financing in the first quarter, up about 38 percent compared to the first quarter of 2016. The quarterly total was also up 20 percent from its fourth-quarter 2016 production. Compared to its counterpart, Freddie Mac had a slower start to the year, producing $12.7 billion in the first quarter, down about 28 percent from both first-quarter and fourth-quarter 2016. Hilary Provinse, Fannie Mae’s senior vice president of customer engagement, says the driver of Fannie Mae’s hot start is the increased activity in its green product lines, which incentivize borrowers to perform energy and water efficiency improvements at their properties to qualify for financing with reduced interest rates. “Fannie Mae is the market leader in green rehab financing,” says Provinse. “In 2016, we did $3.6 billion in green financing volume. In the first quarter of 2017 alone we did $5 billion.” David Brickman, executive vice president of Freddie Mac’s multifamily business, says that Freddie Mac’s first-quarter production was more affected by the “pause” in the market in late 2016 and early 2017 than Fannie Mae. “There was a little disruption in the fourth quarter of last year …
