Berkadia Arranges $26 Million Financing for Texas Senior Housing Portfolio
Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC recently arranged $26.1 million in financing for Capital Senior Living’s four-property portfolio of senior housing communities, located across Texas.
Lisa Lautner, a senior vice president with Berkadia, worked with Fannie Mae to obtain 10-year, fixed-rate financing for Capital Senior Living’s property acquisition.
The portfolio consists of communities offering independent, assisted, and Alzheimer’s services; they are located in Arlington, College Station, Conroe, and Stephenville, Texas. All four properties were renovated between 2010 and 2011, and have an average occupancy rate of 92%.
Berkadia completed the loan 60 days after the origination, meeting the borrower’s timeframe.
“We are pleased to once again assist Capital Senior Living with its financing needs as it continues to acquire quality assets and expand its regional presence,” said Lautner. “They are a premier operator in our industry and we are proud to be one of their financial partners.”
Cain Brothers Completes $14.2 Million Bond Refinance for Elder Care Alliance
Long-time Cain Brothers’ client, Elder Care Alliance of Camarillo. Ca., recently closed a $14.2 million loan to refinance its outstanding Series 2000 variable rate demand bonds. Cain Brothers structured the new loan as a conventional taxable loan insured through FHA’s Section 232/223(f) program, used to refinance debt of licensed levels of senior care facilities, including assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing.
Elder Care Alliance of Camarillo operates 60 assisted living apartments and 18 memory care units that were built using tax-exempt, variable rate bonds, supported by a bank letter of credit with further support for a third-party guarantor. Even with this guarantor, says Cain Brothers, the operator had to periodically revisit the bank letter of credit’s renewal, and the situation became “even more severe” in the past two years thanks to the global debt crisis.
The refinancing loan allows Elder Care Alliance of Camarillo’s debt structure to lock in at a fixed, all-time low rate of 3.00% for 35 years.

Joshua Rosen, executive vice president of Beech Street Capital, worked on the transaction out of the firm’s Chicago office.
