Greystone Issues $50.2M Bridge Loan for California Healthcare Portfolio

Greystone has closed a $50.2 million bridge-to-HUD loan to refinance an 84-bed healthcare portfolio located in California, according to an announcement from the commercial real estate finance company.

A bridge-to-HUD loan is interim financing that allows property owners to stabilize or reposition an asset before transitioning to a permanent loan backed by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which typically offers lower long-term rates.

Q.How large is the California healthcare portfolio involved in this Greystone deal?

Q.Why would a borrower use bridge financing before a HUD loan?

HUD permanent loans carry more stringent underwriting requirements, so bridge financing gives borrowers time to meet those standards before locking in long-term agency-backed debt.
