Siemens Financial and First Horizon closed a $64.8 million construction loan for Health Park at Avenir, a hospital and medical outpatient complex in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Sina Companies borrowed the funds to develop the project, which sits fully leased to Jupiter Medical Center.
The financing reflects strong lender confidence in healthcare real estate in Palm Beach County, where medical facilities command stable, long-term tenants. Jupiter Medical Center's anchor lease removes occupancy risk, a critical factor for lenders funding construction debt. The partnership between Siemens Financial and First Horizon spreads risk across two institutional lenders, typical for deals of this size.
For Sina Companies, the capital enables rapid project execution without equity drawdown. Construction loans at this price point typically carry 18 to 36 month terms, with conversion to permanent financing once the complex achieves substantial completion and stabilization.

Healthcare assets generate recession-resistant cash flow, operate with long lease terms, and serve essential community functions. Palm Beach County's affluent population and aging demographics support demand for medical services.
Jupiter Medical Center, the anchor tenant, gains operational expansion without capital expenditure. The health system can open new service lines and increase patient capacity at Avenir without funding construction. For the broader market, the deal signals continued capital availability for healthcare developments backed by creditworthy tenants.
Siemens Financial specializes in equipment and infrastructure financing globally. First Horizon operates as a full-service financial institution with strong regional presence across the Southeast.
