Fortress Investment Group Divests Arizona Asset
JLL Capital Markets has closed the sale of Inspira Arrowhead, a 165-unit seniors housing community in Glendale, Arizona. The community was under the ownership of Fortress Investment Group funds for just 18 months, but in that time occupancy rose from 89% to 94% and NOI improved by 35%. Fortress bought the asset in April 2024 in a joint venture with Cogir Senior Living, so Cogir clearly did a great job (and will be continuing as manager). Alanna Ellis and Alex Sheaffer of JLL had arranged acquisition financing for that deal, and Nick Stahler, Hamid Panahi and Steve Gebbing with Institutional Property Advisors of Marcus & Millichap had handled the 2024 sale. Built in 2019, the community... Read More »Stacked Stone Makes Another Acquisition
Stacked Stone Ventures, a real estate investment firm founded by Kent Eikanas, followed up on its October acquisition in Oklahoma with the purchase of two assisted living/memory care communities in Illinois, near the St. Louis MSA. Similar to the Oklahoma deal, Stacked Stone has made an Illinois acquisition in a joint venture with the private equity firm Praxis Capital. Totaling 159 units, the communities were built in 2000 and 2004. Occupancy was in the high-60% range, so there was room to grow for the incoming operator, Longevity Senior Living. The operating margin stood close to 5%, with full financials available on LevinPro LTC. Stacked Stone can also significantly increase value,...

Blueprint facilitated the sale of a Massachusetts skilled nursing facility on behalf of a public REIT in the senior care sector. The REIT determined that the facility was a strong candidate for sale due to its location. Plus, the former operator was switching focus to other assets in its mutual portfolio. Purpose-built in 1982 with significant renovations in 2006, the 78-bed facility is in Brighton, a neighborhood of Boston. The 91%-occupied building benefits from its proximity to Boston Medical Center – Brighton, just one mile away. At the time of sale, revenues exceeded $10 million annually. Blueprint targeted both skilled nursing and behavioral health buyers. There were... Read More »

Seller Exits Seniors Industry with Divestment to REIT
A single-asset seniors housing owner is exiting the industry with the sale of their property in Murrieta, California. Built in 2016 and 2018, Renaissance Village Murrieta has 142 units of assisted living and memory care in three stories. It was operating just below 70% occupancy, so there is plenty of room for a new owner to improve performance and increase value to the community. That buyer was a REIT, which will be partnering with an established West Coast operator that has a growing presence in California. Brad Goodsell, Jason Punzel and Vince Viverito of Senior Living Investment Brokerage handled the transaction, continuing an incredibly active October for the firm. Read More »
