CHICAGO, Sept. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Ziegler, a specialty investment bank, is pleased to announce its role as exclusive financial advisor in raising financing of $20,500,000 (the "Financing" or the "Transaction") on behalf of Phorcys Capital Partners ("Phorcys" or the "Borrower") to acquire The Glen at Lake Oconee Village, a senior housing community (the "Community") located in Greensboro, Georgia. The Community was built in 2017 and offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care services. The financing was provided by Stride Bank N.A. (Stride).
The Community comprises 114 units in total, including 28 independent living units, 68 assisted living units, and 18 memory care units. The recently constructed Community showcases a thoughtfully crafted architectural design and modern amenities, all meticulously developed to offer luxurious apartment living within a secure, resort-style setting. Ideally situated in a highly sought-after market, the Community occupies a prime position, conveniently situated on Lake Oconee, halfway between the cities of Atlanta and Augusta, Georgia.
Christopher Utz, Managing Director, Ziegler Senior Housing & Care Finance, who advised and negotiated the transaction, stated, "Phorcys Capital Partners found a diamond in the rough on this Community. They were able to capitalize on market inefficiencies and stabilize the financial performance in short order."
Vasileios Sfyris, Phorcys Capital Partners' Managing and Founding Partner added, "Despite challenging market conditions and the unique circumstances associated with the transaction, Ziegler delivered by introducing the Phorcys team to Stride Bank and assisted us throughout the process. Debbie and her Stride team understood the inherent legal difficulties of the receivership process and helped us fund this acquisition in a timely manner."
Stride Bank's SVP of Healthcare Banking, Debbie Blacklock said, "Ziegler has always been a trusted advisor to Stride Bank, and the introduction to Phorcys Capital continues that trend. Phorcys was able to display a unique approach in turning around assets and providing a strong credit profile. This transaction is a huge success for all parties involved."
