Berkadia Originates $104M for Bronx SNF

Berkadia recently provided $104.27 million in financing for Workmen’s Circle Multicare Center, a skilled nursing facility in the Bronx’s Baychester neighborhood. Richard Price of Berkadia’s Chevy Chase, MD office and Gemma Geldmacher of the Boston office secured the 232/223(f) loan through HUD on behalf of Woodbury, NY-based Cassena Care.

Trish Maroney of Berkadia’s Syracuse, NY office led the underwriting team. Maroney was one of the original underwriters of the transaction in 2008, when a Berkadia predecessor company originally funded the FHA-insured loan. The loan has a 20-year fully amortizing term.

“The Workmen’s Circle transaction involved a complex debt restructuring, which will help solidify the financial stability of this superb facility for the near and long term,” said Price.

Berkadia also provided a bridge loan secured by the project’s surplus cash.
