CHICAGO – JUNE 2, 2023 – Ziegler, a specialty investment bank, in partnership with M&T Realty Capital Corporation (M&T RCC), is pleased to announce its role as financial advisor in a $105,600,000 Freddie Mac refinancing on behalf of The Ridge Senior Living to underwrite the existing debt on The Ridge Pinehurst, a luxury independent living, assisted living & memory care community in Lakewood, Colorado. The award-winning 371-unit community began opening in
phases in September 2020.
The original 10-year, fixed-rate loan was structured with 5 years of interest-only payments, followed by 30-year amortization. The refinance provided The Ridge with a long-term fixed-rate loan to replace the original floating rate construction loan.
“We’re excited to have been able to secure the debt needed for The Ridge to be able to refinance their community long-term with terms that allowed them to achieve their goal of refinancing their construction loan with fixed-rate financing during a very challenging lending period in the market,” stated Eric Johnson, a managing director in Ziegler’s Senior Housing & Care Finance Practice, who arranged and negotiated the transaction.
“Achieving this financing with Freddie Mac in a difficult lending environment is a testament to the industry-leading design and unrivaled hospitality provided by The Ridge Pinehurst,” said Mandy Hampton, CEO of The Ridge Senior Living. “We’re excited about what this means for the next phase of our company development and what we can provide for Denver-area seniors.”
Managing Director Matt Henning, Seniors Housing Program Manager Matthew Pipitone and Managing Director Nick Gent led the transaction for M&T RCC. “The Ridge Pinehurst is a fantastic community. We are proud to have provided a financing solution that achieved the goals of the Borrower and helps set them up for future success,” said Matthew Henning.
