Newmark’s Healthcare & Alternative Real Estate Assets group secured the 10-year Freddie Mac senior loan, featuring five years of interest-only payments, and arranged a preferred equity investment from Kayne Anderson Real Estate Debt. The landmark transaction represents the first-ever Freddie Mac senior preferred equity hard pay structure for a seniors housing asset.

Newmark announces it has arranged the $140 million recapitalization for Corso Atlanta, a 203-unit luxury seniors housing asset located at 3200 Howell Mill Road in Atlanta, Georgia.

Newmark Senior Managing Director Sarah Anderson, President of Capital Markets for North America Chad Lavender, Vice Chairman Ryan Maconachy and Directors Mills Poynor and Ben McElroy facilitated the transaction on behalf of the borrower, Galerie Living.

“This one-of-a-kind loan is a testament to the extraordinary quality and strong performance of Corso Atlanta, as well as to the caliber of our sponsor,” said Anderson. “Our team is proud to have successfully navigated this complex financial structure to completion, setting a precedent in the seniors housing finance sector. We look forward to continuing our long-standing relationship with Galerie and reinforcing their dedication to excellence in senior care.”
