OAK GROVE ORIGINATES $25M FOR SENIOR HOUSING COMMUNITIES

GRANT PASS, ORE. – Oak Grove Capital has originated $25 million in variable rate, permanent financing for three senior housing communities in Oregon and Montana. The financing was obtained through Freddie Mac’s Senior Housing Capped ARM program. The three communities are operated by Emeritus Corporation and owned by a joint venture between affiliates of Emeritus, Blackstone Real Estate Advisors and Columbia Pacific Advisors. The funds were used to refinance existing low-leverage mortgage debt on the three senior properties, which include the 61-unit Cambridge Place in Great Falls, Mont., the 82-unit Spring Village in Grants Pass, Ore., and an 88-unit assisted/independent/memory care facility in Redmond, Ore. This is a seven-year variable-rate loan with pre-payment flexibility. Lisa Lautner and Heidi Brunet of Oak Grove's Senior Housing and Healthcare Group originated the loans.
