Ziegler Closes $39,325,000 Financing For The Acquisition of The Cabana At Jensen Dunes

CHICAGO, Feb. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Ziegler, a specialty investment bank, is pleased to announce the successful closing of the acquisition of The Cabana at Jensen Dunes (the Community) on behalf of Convivial Life, Inc. (Convivial), a Florida not-for-profit organization, which serves as the sole member of the borrower (The Cabana at Jensen Dunes, LLC).

The Community opened in 2016 and is located on 23 acres along Florida's east coast in Jensen Beach, Florida with approximately 12.34 acres being a nature preserve. The Community is approximately 45 miles north of West Palm Beach and includes 126 rental units consisting of 88 assisted living units and 38 memory support units in an approximate 100,000 square foot building.

Included in the financing is the purchase of approximately 11.35 acres of adjacent land to the Community which includes entitlements to construct an additional 210 independent living units, memory support units and other amenities to complement the Community.

LifeStar Living, LLC (LifeStar) served as a consultant in order to manage and supervise certain aspects related to the planning and acquisition of the Community. Since April of 2019, the Community has been managed by a wholly owned subsidiary of Solvere Holdings, LLC based in St. Petersburg, Florida. Subsequent to a transition period, LifeStar will assume the role of management of the Community. In addition, LifeStar is expected to serve as the development consultant should the acquired adjacent land be developed with independent living offerings to serve as a feeder for the existing assisted living and memory support units.

The non-rated financing totaled $39,325,000 and consisted of $34,300,000 in tax-exempt fixed rate bonds being publicly marketed to investors and a corporate taxable subordinate series of $5,025,000 in bonds being privately placed with an investor.
