7/18/19

Cushman & Wakefield Senior Housing Capital Markets, acting as exclusive advisor to Homestead Senior Living, LLC, (a partnership Pike Senior Living, LLC and Solvere Senior Living), has arranged the refinance of Homestead at Hamilton, a 195-unit independent living, assisted living and memory care community in Hamilton, New Jersey. Homestead at Hamilton is newly built and opened its IL units in November 2017 and its licensed AL and MC units in April 2018. The community is currently 61% occupied and expects to stabilize in another 12 months. The four-story class-A community features a complete amenities package and is the newest full-continuum property and the only rental IL option in Hamilton Township, a city of 88,000 residents and 11 miles from Princeton, NJ.

The Cushman & Wakefield team involved in the transaction included Vice Chairman Richard Swartz, Executive Managing Director Jay Wagner, and Director Jim Dooley. “We are pleased to have been a part of this transaction with Pike and their partners which has created a new lending relationship for them with MidCap Financial,” said Swartz.

MidCap Financial, a leading commercial finance company focused on middle market transactions, provided the $57.3 million floating rate first mortgage loan that refinanced the original construction loan and mezzanine debt with accrued interest. The MidCap team that led the transaction included Managing Director Lawrence Brin and Vice President Andrew Lavinder, in connection with President Kevin McMeen.
