Southmount Healthcare Centre Inc. and certain affiliated companies (collectively, the "Debtors")

Southmount Healthcare Centre Inc. and certain affiliated companies (collectively, the "Debtors"), which together owned and operated seven medical office buildings and a parking lot across Ontario, were placed in receivership on June 29 on application by American General Life Insurance Company, Lexington Insurance Company and The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (collectively, the "Applicants"), owed approximately $68 million. In 2016, the Debtors owned three medical office buildings. The Applicants advanced a loan to the Debtors in the principal amount of $70 million to allow the Debtors to purchase four more medical office buildings and a parking lot and to refinance the three buildings that were already owned. The Debtors have failed to make a payment under the loan since December 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic. KPMG was appointed receiver. Counsel is Blakes for the Applicants, Norton Rose for the receiver and Weisz Fell Kour for the legal owners of the properties.
