Sims was approached by an affiliate of Affinity Living Group (“Affinity”), a spin-off of Meridian Senior Living, to assist in refinancing various forms of existing subordinate debt that remained on a portfolio of seven senior living properties after it had been refinanced with HUD. Using its “HUD Plus” program, Sims successfully provided a mezzanine loan totaling $6.05 million to Affinity to complete the refinancing.
