Payments on the loan are interest-only during the construction period. The four-story, 137-bed pediatric residential nursing facility and affiliated school will be constructed on a 6.5 acre site in South Westchester Executive Park in Yonkers. The 2012 expiration of the lease on its current location spurred the Pediatric Center's decision to move from Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood, where it was established in 1987 by their sponsor, the Sisters of Charity of New York. The 165,000-square-foot center, scheduled to open in 2012, will house medical, nursing, rehabilitative, palliative care, educational and home-care services for medically fragile children from birth through age 21. Senior Vice President and Branch Manager Bradley Grainger of Berkadia's Syracuse, N.Y. office originated the loan. The borrower was the Elizabeth Seton Pediatric Center. "Nursing centers that provide this type of pediatric medical care and educational services are rare," said Grainger, a specialist in healthcare property finance. "The size of the transaction and the complex nature of the facility itself made for some challenges, but we had complete confidence in the borrower." "The new Pediatric Center will be a very special home that provides an extraordinary level of care for each of our 137 children as well as for their families and those who care for the children every day," stated CEO Patricia Tursi.

Berkadia's Seniors Housing & Healthcare Group Originates $44,570,000 for Acquisition of Five Seniors Housing Communities	Lonnie Hopper	5/20/2010	Berkadia's Seniors Housing & Healthcare Group Originates $44,570,000 for Acquisition of Five Seniors Housing Communities	Berkadia Commercial Mortgage's newly formed Seniors Housing & Healthcare Group has originated $44,570,000 in fixed-rate debt through the company's Freddie Mac program for the acquisition of a five-property pool of seniors housing communities. Berkadia's eight-member Seniors Housing and Healthcare Group includes experienced loan originators Monique Bimler, Philip Brooks and Lisa Lautner, and is managed by industry veteran Bill Kauffman. Collectively, the four have originated $12 billion of debt to seniors housing and healthcare properties, 25 percent of which has been Agency business. The loan, arranged by Kauffman and Bimler, has a 10-year term and a 30-year amortization. The borrowers are subsidiaries of Brookdale Senior Living Inc., which purchased the properties in late 2009 as part of an 18-property acquisition from affiliates of Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. The properties, located in Santa Rosa, Calif.; Wilton, Conn.; Carmel, Indiana; Englewood, Ohio; and Finneytown, Ohio, are owned and operated by subsidiaries of Brookdale. The five communities comprise 358 units, of which 107 are dedicated to Alzheimer's and dementia care. "We worked closely with Freddie Mac underwriters to recognize improvements to property cash flow due to Brookdale's management of the properties," said Kauffman. Commenting on the formation of the new group, Berkadia's president and CEO Michael I. Lipson, said, " Seniors housing is a specialized asset class that is best served by a dedicated origination team. Our seniors housing mortgage bankers have demonstrated an outstanding track record for providing loans to the industry." "Our team is very excited to be working together," said Kauffman. "In addition to expanding our relationships with borrowers, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, we expect to increase Berkadia's presence as a HUD LEAN originator through a closer relationship with Berkadia's HUD division." Berkadia's HUD platform, under the direction of Executive Vice President Karl Reinlein, has consistently ranked at or near the top of annual HUD healthcare loan originators for the past decade.
