WESTMINSTER, Colo. — Lument has provided a $31.6 million Freddie Mac loan to refinance Keystone Place at Legacy Ridge.
The 160-unit seniors housing community is located in Westminster, a northern suburb of Denver.
Built in 2011, Keystone Place at Legacy Ridge features independent and assisted living units. The community has maintained strong occupancy throughout 2022.
Eric Mestemaker, Doug Harper and Casey Moore led the transaction for Lument.
The Freddie Mac loan features a 10-year term, five years of interest-only payments, 30-year amortization and a fixed interest rate. The loan refinanced two existing Freddie Mac loans totaling $28.2 million and provided almost $3 million in cash-out proceeds.
During the loan process, the community enjoyed a substantial improvement in net operational income, as occupancy rates rose and rent collections increased. Lument subsequently adjusted its underwriting and successfully secured an increase in loan proceeds.
Lument also helped Keystone take advantage of Freddie Mac’s index lock functionality to lock the interest rate more than three months prior to closing, saving 100 basis points and generating substantial debt service savings.
Lument has a longstanding relationship with Keystone that dates back more than 10 years and includes acquisition bridge financing, construction financing, mezzanine financing and many FHA-insured loans. This was Lument’s first agency loan for the company.
