Greenfield Senior Living Inc. Enters Lease Transaction with Care Investment Trust LLC
Falls Church, Virginia (PRWEB) March 31, 2015 -- Greenfield Senior continues to build a strong relationship with Care Investment Trust LLC ("Care") a seniors housing-focused real estate investment and finance subsidiary of Tiptree Financial Inc. Care announces today, their acquisition of six senior housing communities from a third party seller for $54.48 million. Concurrent with the acquisition, Care will master lease the properties to affiliates of Greenfield Senior Living ("Greenfield"). Pursuant to the lease, Care will provide Greenfield with $1 million to fund initial capital expenditures to enhance and reposition each of the properties. In connection with the acquisition, Care secured a $39.5 million, 10 year loan, which includes 18 months of interest only payments. The initial funding amount was approximately $38.7 million and the remaining amount was held-back at closing to reimburse the borrowers for a portion of the capital expenditures.
Mathew Peponis, Chief Executive Officer of Greenfield, stated “Greenfield Senior Living is honored to expand its relationship with Care Investment Trust. We are excited that over 350 new residents and their family members will now be enjoying the Greenfield experience. We have new and innovative projects planned that we think our residents, families and team members are going to love. With our community partners, we will continue to transform the senior living experience by introducing new medical models, enhancing environments, and using technology to delight our customers.”
Salvatore (Torey) Riso, President and Chief Executive Officer of Care, stated, "With today’s closing, Care has broadened and deepened its important relationship with Greenfield. We started working together in September 2011 with a 3 community triple net sale-leaseback transaction, we expanded that relationship with a 3 community joint venture in October 2013, and now we are thrilled to add 6 more communities in a participating lease structure. This is exactly what we had hoped would happen with the Greenfield relationship and it serves as a model of our strategy to partner and build with a select group of high quality regional operators. Greenfield is made up of true professionals that care deeply about their residents and staff. We look forward to continue growing our companies together."
