By Jamie Dunford, CBRE Outside of office product, Cleveland and Northeast Ohio haven’t historically been of interest for most out-of-town multifamily developers and investors. They viewed the region as a tertiary or secondary market with a declining population and a lackluster economy.  Until recently, urban living in the central business district (CBD) and surrounding neighborhoods was rare — Cleveland was a commuter city with a strong office market from the 90s until the Great Financial Crisis (GFC) in 2008. At one point in time, Northeast Ohio boasted one of the highest concentrations of Fortune 500 companies with headquarters or other office space in the region, and the CBD had the largest job hub in the state of Ohio.  Most office buildings in the CBD were owned by institutional capital or national developers. However, the GFC vastly altered this landscape as unemployment rose, companies left or downsized, and many office assets went back to the lender.  This left an oversupply of office product in the market, and the older buildings suffered the most.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. — Berkadia has arranged the financing of a 72-bed memory care facility in Colorado Springs.  Jay Healy and Andrew Lanzaro of Berkadia Seniors Housing & Healthcare secured a $14.4 million bridge loan to retire the existing construction debt and transaction costs. Berkadia Seniors Housing & Healthcare was able to offer an 18-month, floating-rate, bridge-to-HUD loan to allow the borrower enough time to continue improving NOI to a level that will support a HUD refinancing. Berkadia Seniors Housing & Healthcare anticipates submitting the HUD application within 12 months. The Washington-based borrower completed the community in 2018 and, despite strong lease-up velocity in 2019, struggled throughout much of 2020 and 2021 due to key staff turnover and multiple COVID-19 lockdowns. Occupancy hit a low point of 30 percent in December 2020 before new facility-level leadership stepped in to stabilize the community, managing to increase occupancy to 72 percent by March 2023.
