Pinebrook Facility and Watermark Joint Venture

 

On December 27, 2013, NorthStar Healthcare Income, Inc. (“NorthStar Healthcare”), through a subsidiary of its operating partnership, completed a joint venture investment with The Freshwater Group, Inc. (“Freshwater”) in a 125-unit independent living facility located in Milford, Ohio (the “Pinebrook Facility”) for an aggregate total cost of $16.3 million. NorthStar Healthcare, through its investment in the joint venture (the “Joint Venture”), acquired a 97% interest in the Pinebrook Facility for $15.8 million, which includes NorthStar Healthcare’s allocable share of all transaction costs. The Joint Venture acquired the Pinebrook Facility from MSLV Wolfpen LLC pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement, as amended, dated November 19, 2013, with Wells Fargo, National Association, both unaffiliated third parties. NorthStar Healthcare funded the investment through a combination of proceeds from its initial public offering and a $10.5 million senior mortgage note payable (the “Pinebrook Borrowing”) provided by an unaffiliated third-party lender. The transaction was approved by NorthStar Healthcare’s board of directors in accordance with NorthStar Healthcare’s investment guidelines.

 

The Pinebrook Facility was constructed in 2008 and consists of a three-story, 145,896 square foot building. As of December 20, 2013, resident occupancy was 67%. An affiliate of Watermark Retirement Communities, Inc. (“Watermark”), a national operator of senior living facilities and an affiliate of Freshwater, was hired to operate the Pinebrook Facility pursuant to a seven-year management agreement with automatic one-year renewals (the “Management Agreement”) under which Watermark will receive a base management fee equal to 5.0% of the monthly gross revenues collected. The Management Agreement may be terminated without penalty in the event of various defaults, as more fully described in the Management Agreement.

 

The Pinebrook Borrowing bears interest at a floating rate of 3.35% over the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), but at no point shall LIBOR be less than 0.50%, resulting in a minimum interest rate of 3.85%. The initial term of the Pinebrook Borrowing is 36 months with two one-year extension periods, subject to a 0.25% extension fee for each extension and the satisfaction of certain performance tests. The initial 24 monthly payments on the Pinebrook Borrowing are interest-only, with payments based on a 25-year amortization schedule thereafter. The Pinebrook Borrowing may not be prepaid during the first 24 months and is open to repayment thereafter. In addition to standard representations, warranties and covenants contained in transactions of this type, under the terms of the Pinebrook Borrowing, the Pinebrook Facility must maintain (i) minimum average occupancy, (ii) a minimum debt service coverage ratio, and (iii) a minimum project yield, all as more fully described in the loan agreement. In connection with the Pinebrook Borrowing, affiliates of Freshwater agreed to guaranty certain recourse carve-out and environmental obligations of the Joint Venture under the loan agreement and related documentation (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). NorthStar Healthcare, through its operating partnership, entered into a contribution agreement, dated December 27, 2013 (the “Contribution Agreement”), whereby NorthStar Healthcare and Freshwater agreed to fund their pro rata share of certain losses arising out of the Guaranteed Obligations; provided, however, NorthStar Healthcare or Freshwater, as the case may be, will be individually responsible for 100% of certain losses caused by the respective party, as more fully described in the contribution agreement.

 

The Joint Venture is governed by a limited liability company agreement dated December 27, 2013 (the “JV Agreement”). An affiliate of NorthStar Healthcare is the manager of the Joint Venture and, subject to the terms and conditions of the JV Agreement, has the full and exclusive right to conduct its business and affairs. Major decisions require the consent of an affiliate of Freshwater, who is the administrative member of the Joint Venture and manages its day-to-day affairs. Under the terms of the JV Agreement, during the first two years NorthStar Healthcare is entitled to receive 100% of all net operating cash flow until it receives a 12.0% preferred return on its invested capital, at which point Freshwater will receive 100% of all net operating cash flow until it receives a 12% preferred return on its invested capital. Following the earlier of the payment in full of each party’s respective preferred return or the end of the initial two-year period, all distributions of net operating cash flow will be made to NorthStar Healthcare and to Freshwater on a pro rata basis in accordance with each party’s percentage interest in the Joint Venture. Distributions of capital proceeds will be based on certain performance thresholds in accordance with the JV Agreement. The JV Agreement contains customary buy-sell and forced sale provisions.

 

2
 

The JV Agreement also provides for the future acquisition by the Joint Venture of additional facilities currently owned by unaffiliated third parties, including two identified properties for a combined purchase price of $71.0 million, plus closing costs (the “Identified Properties”).

 

On December 31, 2013, subsidiaries of the Joint Venture assumed from an affiliate of Freshwater a purchase and sale agreement, dated August 27, 2013 (as amended, the “Harvard Square PSA”), with Harvard Square, LLC and LDEV, LLC, two unaffiliated third parties, for the purchase of one of the Identified Properties, a 184-unit independent and assisted living facility located in Denver, Colorado (the “Harvard Square Facility”) for a purchase price of $31.5 million, plus closing costs. Pursuant to the terms of the Harvard Square PSA, the Joint Venture must close the acquisition of the Harvard Square Facility before March 31, 2014. Although there can be no assurance that the transaction is completed, the Joint Venture expects to complete the acquisition of the Harvard Square Facility on or before January 31, 2014.

 

The acquisition of the Identified Properties (including the Harvard Square Facility) remains subject to, among other things, the satisfaction of customary closing conditions associated with each acquisition. There can be no assurance that the Joint Venture will complete the acquisition of the Identified Properties. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Joint Venture will identify additional suitable facilities to acquire or that, if identified, the acquisition of such additional properties will be completed.

 

Vinings Memory Care Facility

 

On December 27, 2013, NorthStar Healthcare, through a subsidiary of its operating partnership, completed the acquisition of a 56-unit memory care facility located in Smyrna, Georgia (the “Vinings Facility”) for a total cost of $10.1 million. NorthStar Healthcare acquired the Vinings Facility from Vinings Senior Real Estate, LLC and Peregrine Way of GA, LLC, both unaffiliated third parties (collectively, the “Seller”), pursuant to an agreement of sale, dated December 27, 2013. NorthStar Healthcare funded the investment with proceeds from its initial public offering and the transaction was approved by NorthStar Healthcare’s board of directors in accordance with NorthStar Healthcare’s investment guidelines.

 

The Vinings Facility was constructed in 1997 and completely renovated in 2013. The Vinings Facility is 100% leased to an affiliate of Peregrine Health Management Company (“Peregrine”) pursuant to a ten-year net lease (the “Lease”), whereby the tenant is responsible for substantially all of the operating expenses at the property. Including the Vinings Facility, three of NorthStar Healthcare’s properties are operated by affiliates of Peregrine and all three leases are cross-collateralized. The Lease contains two five-year extension options and includes annual rent escalations equal to the greater of (i) the percentage increase in the consumer price index and (ii) 2.5%. The Vinings Facility contains 26,500 square feet and as of December 18, 2013 resident occupancy was 93%. The Vinings Facility is currently unlevered and NorthStar Healthcare intends to finance it either on a credit facility or with an unaffiliated third-party lender in the future.
