REIT Divests Washington State Seniors Housing Asset
Blueprint’s Behavioral Healthcare and Seniors Housing Team worked together to sell a seniors housing asset in Bremerton, Washington, on behalf of its nationally recognized healthcare REIT owner. The property was identified as an ideal candidate for either a behavioral healthcare provider, based on strong demand and reimbursement in the state, or a strategic regional seniors housing operator that could use economies of scale in the region to turn around operations. So, Blueprint deployed a dual marketing campaign receiving offers from both behavioral and seniors housing operators. However, a large regional seniors housing operator, with which Blueprint has worked previously, ultimately... Read More »
Active Adult Community Trades in New York
CBRE arranged the sale and financing of an active adult community in Mount Sinai, New York.

Private REIT Divests Midwest Portfolio
Senior Living Investment Brokerage facilitated the sale of a seniors housing portfolio that consisted of three communities in Ohio and two in Indiana. The Ohio communities are located within 250 miles of each other, and the Indiana communities are located within 75 miles of each other. Together, they total 400 units and were built between 1983 and 2001. The portfolio was well maintained, as it underwent significant capex over the last few years. The seller, a Northeast-based private REIT, was divesting because these communities were geographic outliers and it wanted to shift focus to its core markets. The buyer, a regional owner/operator, was looking to grow its Midwest portfolio,... Read More »
