Although the borrower was not disclosed, Centers Health Care operates both facilities. Greystone provided a $71.8 million loan for Triboro Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing in the Bronx. The facility features 405 skilled nursing beds and 70 assisted living beds. Proceeds of the loan will be used to refinance the existing debt and to renovate portions of the facility. Greystone also provided a $29 million loan for Buffalo Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing, a 200-bed facility in Buffalo.
