Transactions & Financings: McFarlin Group Sponsors Global Investor; Greystone’s $24M HUD Loan

McFarlin Group is looking beyond the U.S. for senior housing investors.

The Dallas-based fully integrated senior housing firm became a sponsor of Private Wealth Global, an investment platform focused on core-plus and value-add opportunities in the U.S. and Europe, particularly multifamily and health care.

The move gives McFarlin access to investors in South America and Europe for its latest investment fund. Last April, the firm announced a $100 million target fund to acquire senior housing communities under operational distress from Covid-19.

• Fitch downgraded the credit rating on $5.9 million in revenue refunding bonds issued by the California Statewide Communities Development Authority to Aldersly, a CCRC in San Rafael, California, to “BBB-” from “BBB.” The rating outlook is negative.
