Wisconsin AL Community Changes Hands
On the heels of his closing in Minnesota, Bob Richards of Senior Care Realty headed over to Wisconsin to sell a small assisted living community in Dane County. Built in the mid-1990s, the community featured 20 units and a mostly Medicaid census. But occupancy was 100%, and the community operated at a strong margin above 30%. That is impressive, considering its size. It ended up being too small for the regional owner/operator’s typical model, so it sold to an East Coast owner/operator with a growing Wisconsin portfolio. The purchase price came to $1.8 million, or $90,000 per unit. VIUM Capital helped finance the acquisition for the buyer, which has now purchased four small assets in the... Read More »
Private Asset-Based Lender Acquires Two Senior Notes
Blueprint facilitated the sale of two senior notes secured by 24 seniors housing communities. The portfolio of communities spans approximately 1,200 units across eight states. Prior to the sale, all of the communities securing the notes transitioned to a new, national operator as part of a larger corporate wind down of the borrower. Individual performance at the communities varied notably throughout the portfolio, however, on a consolidated basis the portfolio was roughly 70% occupied and generated revenue of approximately $50 million. Blueprint approached a select group of investors with a strategy to demonstrate that the unencumbered value of the assets exceeded that of the notes’ value,... Read More »

A REIT divested its assisted living/memory care community in an affluent suburb of Salt Lake City, Utah, with the help of Vince Viverito and Brad Clousing of Senior Living Investment Brokerage.

But a private equity group with a strategic operating partner growing its portfolio in Utah stepped in to buy the community for an undisclosed price. Read More »
Greene Park Capital Purchases MA Active Adult Community
Greene Park Capital, a Chicago-based healthcare real estate investment firm, announced its first acquisition of an active adult community in an attractive Boston, Massachusetts suburb. Greene Park made the purchase in partnership with a major institutional investor for an undisclosed price. Built in the last five years, the Class-A community features approximately 225 units. Given the strong market and national owner/operator seller, we imagine it was very well occupied and stabilized. Greene Park has a pipeline in the active adult sector totaling about $250 million, which the firm expects to grow as it seeks out institutional-quality opportunities in major metro and suburban...

Brookdale and Ventas, a Win-Win
Just weeks after Brookdale Senior Living walked away from its lease renewal with Ventas covering some 120 communities, the two companies came to an agreement that appears to be a win-win for both. Brookdale will continue to lease 65 communities which average about 62 units each and represent 40% of the units in the original master lease. The initial cash rent on these will increase by 38% and will now be $64 million with 3% annual escalators. But for 2025, Brookdale will pay the contractual rent of $48 million on these. For the remainder, 44 communities will go into the Ventas SHOP portfolio with new operators, to be determined later. Annualized NOI for these after a 5% management... Read More »
