Newmark announces it has arranged the $140 million recapitalization for Corso Atlanta, a 203-unit luxury seniors housing asset located at 3200 Howell Mill Road in Atlanta, Georgia.

Newmark’s Healthcare & Alternative Real Estate Assets group secured the 10-year Freddie Mac senior loan, featuring five years of interest-only payments, and arranged a preferred equity investment from Kayne Anderson Real Estate Debt. The landmark transaction represents the first-ever Freddie Mac senior preferred equity hard pay structure for a seniors housing asset.

Newmark Senior Managing Director Sarah Anderson, President of Capital Markets for North America Chad Lavender, Vice Chairman Ryan Maconachy and Directors Mills Poynor and Ben McElroy facilitated the transaction on behalf of the borrower, Galerie Living.

“This one-of-a-kind loan is a testament to the extraordinary quality and strong performance of Corso Atlanta, as well as to the caliber of our sponsor,” said Anderson. “Our team is proud to have successfully navigated this complex financial structure to completion, setting a precedent in the seniors housing finance sector. We look forward to continuing our long-standing relationship with Galerie and reinforcing their dedication to excellence in senior care.”

Corso Atlanta’s esteemed reputation is further validated by its 2024 ranking as the premier senior living facility in the Southeast and among the top 10 nationally, as recognized by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The community offers a range of floor plans and services, including independent living, assisted living and memory care options, along with luxurious amenities that cater to residents’ lifestyles. Highlights include chef-led dining options including a bistro and creperie, a heated pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a full-service salon, multiple outdoor spaces, a theater and both a floral shop and gift boutique.
