HJ Sims Provides $80.1M Bond Refinancing for Seniors Housing Portfolio in Pennsylvania

by Amy Works January 11, 2018

LAFAYETTE HILL, PA. — HJ Sims has completed an $88.1 million bond refinancing for Presby’s Inspired Life, a nonprofit seniors housing operator based in Lafayette Hill. The company owns and operates four market-rate seniors housing communities in the Philadelphia area: Rydal Park in Jenkintown, Rosemont Presbyterian Village in Bryn Mawr, Spring Mill Presbyterian Village in Lafayette Hill, and Broomall Presbyterian Village in Broomall. Presby has worked with HJ Sims since 2009, with the investment banking firm providing four financings totaling more than $183 million during the relationship. The current bonds will refinance bank debt and bonds from 2010 and 2013, with a maturity on the new bonds of 2048. Presby previously purchased land adjacent to its Rydal Park campus for a new independent living project: Rydal Waters. Refinancing the outstanding bank debt freed up capacity among Presby’s existing bank relationships to finance the Rydal Waters project once it completes its pre-development and pre-marketing process. The 2017 bonds eliminated Presby’s variable rate interest exposure, provided annual cash flow savings, boosted debt service coverage and leveled out and extended future debt service on a fixed-rate basis.
