Property Objectives

Berkadia Seniors Housing & Healthcare marketed a 16-property portfolio on behalf of a publicly traded REIT. The majority of the communities had negative cash flow, causing the owner to look to strategically divest from the properties. Located throughout the Northeast, Midwest, and Southeast, the properties range in size from 54 to 104 units. Considering the national capital markets environment, finding one buyer for all 16 properties with the ability to finance this type of transaction was unlikely.

Berkadia Solution

Berkadia worked in conjunction with the seller to identify a variety of regional owner/operators with the capability to purchase smaller sub-portfolios with all cash. To date, 13 of the 16 communities have successfully closed over eight transactions to seven different buyers. In order to assist with assurance of close, the seller offered seller financing for a portion of the communities.

Client Results

The seller was able to maximize their returns while successfully divesting from the communities. Berkadia is hard at work securing the closing of the final three properties.
