Peace Capital and its affiliated operator Complete Care Management acquired a 930-bed senior living and skilled nursing portfolio in the Ocean County, N.J. area in a $169 million deal.
The transaction was financed by a $26 million mezzanine loan from the New York City-based private equity firm Northwind Group, and a $131 million senior financing from KeyBank.
Northwind’s head of senior living and health care Jonathan Slusher led the transaction for the private equity provider, with senior banker and senior vice president Henry Alonso working on the transaction for KeyBank Real Estate Capital.
The financing was arranged by Meridian Capital Group, led by Meridian managing directors Ari Dobkin and Ari Adlerstein. Peace Capital intends to refinance the term loan with a permanent Federal Housing Agency (FHA) financing led by KeyBank.
The Howell, N.J.-based Complete Care Management provides short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, and specialty services.
Northwind’s total portfolio includes 1,037 skilled nursing beds and 348 assisted living units in New York, Ohio, and Kentucky; the firm has a goal of investing $1 billion in the senior housing and care space over the next few years.
