Berkadia Secures $114.37M in Financing for Nine-Property Assisted Living Portfolio in Ohio and Pennsylvania
Austin, Texas – February 26, 2026 – Berkadia, a distinguished leader in the commercial real estate sector, announced the refinancing of a nine-property assisted living portfolio spanning Ohio and Pennsylvania. Managing Directors Steve Muth, Garrett Sacco, and Austin Sacco, along with AVP Alec Rosenfeld of Berkadia Seniors Housing & Healthcare, arranged the $114.37 million financing through Bloomfield Capital Partners, LLC on behalf of the borrower, a joint venture with an experienced owner and New Perspective Senior Living, LLC.
The two-year, interest only bridge loan closed in less than 30 days from signed application. Proceeds are being used to refinance maturing debt and position the portfolio for its next phase of the business plan.
“Bloomfield was an outstanding partner on this transaction,” said Garrett Sacco. “Their ability to move quickly and execute with certainty allowed us to refinance maturing debt on an expedited timeline, while structuring a facility that gives these communities the runway they need to complete CapEx and reach full stabilization.”
“Value add deal opportunities require deep domain expertise, superior ability to execute, speed, and they demand both art and science applied to the underwriting process. The Bloomfield and Berkadia teams delivered on all those things and we a very excited about the future of our partnerships,” said Ryan Novaczyk, co-CEO of New Perspective.
Acquired by the joint venture in 2022, the 580-unit portfolio is located in the suburbs of the Cleveland, Ohio MSA—a top30 U.S. MSA—and in multiple markets across western Pennsylvania. As of January 2025, the portfolio reported occupancy of 86 percent and is projected to reach full stabilization within the next 12 to 18 months following execution of the value add and capital expenditure plan.
