Dallas, TX (PRWEB) July 22, 2014

RED Mortgage Capital, the mortgage banking arm of RED CAPITAL GROUP, LLC announced today that it closed a $31M FHA-insured 232/241(a) supplemental loan to develop Parker Senior Living by MorningStar, a senior housing community located in the town of Parker, Colorado, part of the growing southeast suburbs of Denver. The deal was a joint venture between two Denver-area firms, Faestel Properties and JHL Constructors. MorningStar Senior Living currently operates the existing building and is slated to manage the expansion.

Currently on the project site is an existing 64-unit assisted living and memory care community named Parker Assisted Living by MorningStar. The original project was also financed by RED with an FHA-insured Section 232 New Construction loan. The original development has been extremely successful, as it leased up within 10 months of opening and is currently full with a waiting list.

The FHA Section 232/241(a) supplemental loan will provide construction and permanent financing to fund two new senior resident buildings, adding 49 units of independent living, 54 units of assisted living, and 24 units of dementia/memory care to create the Parker Senior Living by MorningStar campus. The complementary buildings will help fulfill the enormous demand in Parker and nearby communities for assisted living and memory care, while providing more independent seniors the opportunity to live on a campus with active living options and the ability to transition to different care levels without moving to a new community.

RED obtained approval for an early start to construction for the new memory care building while the application was still in review at HUD. As a result, it is anticipated to open by October 2014—within 4 months of initial closing. There are prospective residents already on a waiting list for this new building. The second larger assisted and independent living building is scheduled to be open by late 2015.

Mark Tran, Director of Seniors Housing Originations for RED said, “We are very happy to have had the opportunity to work with the client on such an important project for the City of Parker. The process went very smoothly and ultimately we achieved everything that the owner had hoped with this project. We were able to structure the deal with a lower equity requirement compared to a conventional bank loan, offer a non-recourse, low-interest, 40-year loan plus the construction period, and lead the development team through a successful early start so that they could open the doors to the memory care building sooner.”

Joel Faestel, Vice President of Faestal Properties, commented, “Parker is our home. Over the years, we have continued to show our commitment to smart growth in the area. The tremendous acceptance of the original building led us to the decision to expand the senior housing offerings within our community. The bankers at RED have been with us every step of the way and have demonstrated their commitment and expertise time and again.”
