Columbus, OH, August 29, 2005 – Red Mortgage Capital, Inc., the nation’s top Fannie Mae DUS™ seniors housing lender for the past two years, recently closed a 45-property portfolio financing for Nationwide Health Properties.
The properties, containing 1,674 units and built between 1994 and 2000, are assisted living facilities, with some facilities providing Alzheimer’s care. The communities are located in Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin.

Abdo Khoury, Chief Financial and Portfolio Officer of NHP said, "We appreciate the efforts of RED and Fannie Mae in structuring a financing that meets our longer term strategic needs. As this was a unique refinancing, we were pleased with RED’s diligence and sense of urgency in bringing the transaction to close, and Fannie Mae’s responsiveness throughout the process."
