ROLLING MEADOWS, ILL. — Greystone has provided a $16.8 million HUD LEAN 232/223(f) green loan for the refinancing of Plum Creek at Rolling Meadows. The 102-unit supportive living facility is situated in the Northwest Chicago suburb of Rolling Meadows. The three-story property was constructed in 1986 as a hotel and converted into supportive living in 2006. The supportive living program in Illinois is an alternative to nursing home care for low-income older persons requiring mid-range care needs as opposed to skilled nursing. Adam Lipkin and Michael Zukerman of Greystone originated the 35-year loan. Brent Connell of Geneva Capital acted as correspondent on the transaction. The owner committed to implementing green improvements that will result in an estimated 15 percent in energy savings and 10 percent in water savings annually, amounting to projected savings of over $20,000 per year. The new HUD-insured green seniors housing program can cut closing costs by 75 basis points and reduce the interest rate by almost half a percent, according to Greystone.

WESTERVILLE, OHIO — Ziegler has arranged $59.9 million in bond financing for Ohio Living, a Westerville-based nonprofit operator of 12 seniors housing communities in Ohio. Proceeds of the bonds will be used to refund existing bank debt, terminate an interest rate swap agreement, fund a debt-service reserve fund equal to approximately one year of debt service, fund approximately $3 million of capital expenditures and pay certain costs of issuance associated with the financing. The bonds consist of tax-exempt, fixed-rate serial and term bonds with an 18-year final maturity. The financing includes a three-year interest-only period with annual principal amortization starting in 2026. Ohio Living decided to utilize fixed-rate bonds to refund a portion of its bank capital following the turbulence experienced in early 2023 in the bank credit markets.
FORT COLLINS, COLO. — Evans Senior Investments (ESI) has arranged the sale of a skilled nursing facility in Fort Collins for $7.6 million. The seller was an independent owner-operator. Although the number of beds was not released, the per-bed price of $79,166 equates to 96 beds. Initially built in 1968, the seller owned and operated the community for nearly two decades, achieving a four-star CMS rating. However, being its only skilled nursing facility, the company faced the challenges of today’s operating environment and lacked economies of scale. Upon marketing, the facility was 68 percent occupied, generating over $7.5 million in annual revenue, leading to negative net operating income of over $500,000. ESI was able to showcase the possibility for a new ownership group to align the community’s census with the averages of competitors in the area, as well as the potential to tap into the robust network of hospitals in Fort Collins. “Evans Senior Investments was able to showcase Colorado’s recent Medicaid rate increase, which was projected to add over $450,000 in revenue beginning in July 2023,” says Hank Fuller, senior associate at ESI. The buyer was a West Coast-based operator with an existing presence in the state of Colorado.
