Enso Village, the $300 million life plan community under development from Kendal Corporation, Greenbrier Development and the San Francisco Zen Center, now has the majority of its capital stack in place to begin construction.
Chicago-based investment bank Ziegler closed on a $297 million bond debt package on behalf of the joint venture. The bonds were issued through the California Public Finance Authority. The debt was issued in three tranches: one as tax-exempt, fixed rate bonds amortizing over 35 years; one expected to be redeemed at 85%, 70% and 50% occupancy of the development; and the third expected to be redeemed at 13% occupancy.
Bond proceeds will be allocated toward construction of the campus, refinancing pre-development capital, paying 33 months of interest on the bond debt, fund debt service reserves for each tranche of debt, and pay miscellaneous costs associated with issuance.
The development team received approval to proceed with construction on June 18, Kendal Senior VIce President of New Business and Development Steven Bailey told Senior Housing News. Construction is expected to last 25 months, and Enso Village is set to open in late summer 2023.
