NEWTON, Mass. — Diversified Healthcare Trust (DHC), a Massachusetts-based real estate investment trust focused on healthcare properties, has secured two financings totaling $94 million.
The financings include a $64 million five-year mortgage loan and a $30.3 million ten-year Fannie Mae mortgage loan. DHC plans to use the loans to repay the remaining $100 million of the company’s 9.75 percent senior notes due June 2025.
A portfolio of six seniors housing communities managed by Five Star Senior Living secures the financings.
With a fixed interest rate of roughly 6.6 percent, the $64 million loan is secured by four communities totaling 1,079 units.
