Clarion Partners Continues Growing
Clarion Partners is continuing on its acquisition streak, adding Legacy House of Avondale to its portfolio.

Blueprint Handles Virginia Deal
A publicly traded company engaged Blueprint to sell a value-add independent living community in a growing submarket of Richmond, Virginia. Built in 1987, the 122-unit community could benefit from investments in the physical plant. It was also not stabilized. A competitive market generated multiple bids in multiple rounds and improved pricing for the asset, although the price was not disclosed. Regional operators, national seniors housing platforms and private equity-backed groups showed interest, but the seller put significant weight on execution certainty. So, an experienced seniors housing investor with a history of closing transactions on time and on terms was awarded the... Read More »

60 Seconds with Swett: Senior Care’s PR Problem
Recently, we have seen stories circulating about the connection between REIT ownership and the way skilled nursing facilities provide care, stemming from a study written by the nonprofit journalism outlet KFF Health News. We’ve seen this before, headlines like “real estate investors profit while patients suffer,” usually with graphic cases of mistreatment highlighted. Of course, patient abuse and bad actors are out there, but these “studies,” and more so the journalists that cover them, often lose sight of any other factors that could lead to a decline in quality of care, a change in staffing ratios, or the net income on an income statement. There has been a narrative that is usually being... Read More »Blueprint Sets Pricing Record in New York State
Blueprint advised a repeat private equity client in a record-setting sale of two standalone memory care communities in high barrier-to-entry submarkets in New York State. Combining for 104 units, these assets were purpose-built in the late 1990s and were stabilized at the time of the deal. Not only that, they were generating cash flow in excess of $3 million, or nearly $30,000 per unit. Although they were exceptionally strong performers, the buyer market for standalone MC communities can be relatively thin (our webinar on April 23rd touched on the subject). Still, Blueprint sourced a number of reputable buyers with experience transacting in New York, which can be an arduous process, and... Read More »CareTrust Keeps Its Foot on the Gas
