Bethany-Home-Livermore-CA

LIVERMORE, CALIF. — G Capital Markets (GCap), a capital advisory firm based in Carmel, has arranged a recapitalization for Bethany Home, a 59-bed assisted living community in Livermore on the eastern edge of the Bay Area.  Built in 2021 by a regional owner-operator, the property leased up in 2022 and has shown consistently strong performance for several years with cash flow margins well over 40 percent and occupancy of 90 percent, according to GCap. The bridge-to-HUD loan was structured with a large equity-out component and sized to maximize the takeout refinancing while allowing the borrower to submit a HUD application in 2024 without the need to wait the typical two years of debt seasoning. GCap arranged the $15.5 million credit facility with a regional bank partner. The loan carries an interest rate SOFR spread in the low 300s and a below-market financing fee. The borrower is an existing client of GCap, and this property will be part of a broader permanent portfolio refinancing that is scheduled to close in 2025.

CHICAGO — Kiser Group has negotiated a $7.2 million condo deconversion sale in Chicago’s Lakeview neighborhood. Originally listed for sale in 2021 by the condominium association’s property manager, the 41-unit property went in and out of contract for two years. Andy Friedman and Jake Parker of Kiser represented the buyer, Langdon Partners, which plans to fully renovate the building. “Condominium buildings with a high percentage of investor-owned units, such as 505 Melrose, reach a point where owners are no longer able to properly maintain a building and a deconversion sale is an excellent solution,” says Friedman. Under the Condominium Property Act in Illinois, condo unit owners can elect to sell a property if 75 percent or more are in agreement. The threshold is 85 percent for the City of Chicago. Sellers then have the option to either move out of their units or lease them back from the new owner.
