CLEVELAND—KeyBank Real Estate Capital's healthcare platform provided a $703 million financing package to a joint venture led by Blackstone that acquired a 64-community seniors housing portfolio. As reported in GlobeSt.com, HCP, Inc. sold the portfolio for $1.125 billion.

The properties have a total of 5,973 units located across 19 states and offer several types of care. Nashville-based Brookdale Senior Living will continue to manage the communities, and as part of Blackstone's joint venture, it will take a 15% ownership stake in the portfolio. HCP officials say they expect a $165 million gain on the sale.

“The financing package allows the joint venture to access immediate loan proceeds for the acquisition and provides future financing capacity based on performance of the underlying assets,” according to Cleveland-based KeyBank. Bank officials could not provide any more details about how Blackstone will use the funds. They did say that the majority of the financing comes from a Fannie Mae Credit Facility that provides the joint venture with long-term, low-cost, flexible financing on a non-recourse basis.
