In Indiana
Life Care Services (LCS) recently announced it was breaking ground on the Clarendale of Schererville in Schererville, Indiana, the third “Clarendale” property for LCS and construction partner Ryan Companies. The community will feature 177 units of independent living, assisted living and memory care at a cost of $40 million, or $226,000 per unit, to build. The two other “Clarendale” properties are located in Illinois: a 186-unit community in Algonquin and a 156-unit community in Mokena. While the newest property will be ready to open in spring 2017, it will not be short on company. There has been plenty of building going on in the state of Indiana, particularly in the Gary and Indianapolis... Read More »Go with Propero
For operators looking to own their own facilities while minimizing the amount of capital committed to construction, Lancaster Pollard offers a program that may help them do just that. Launched in 2012 and led by Craig Jones, LP’s Propero™ Senior Housing Equity Fund has provided a total of $88 million in gross investments spanning across the acuity spectrum, from IL/AL to memory care to skilled nursing. The way it works is the Fund invests in seniors housing properties as the sole owner and then triple-net leases them to an operator.

It’s not often we see a senior care facility sell for under $15,000 per bed, especially when that facility is majority AL, with a smaller SNF component. It’s also rare to see a facility with a combined occupancy of 82% and a 20% Medicare census at the SNF. Nevertheless, a facility just like that in Corona, California sold for $2.5 million, or $11,200 per bed. Just how could a facility with adequate occupancy and a decent Medicare census sell for so low a price? Well, that was what the operations went for without the real estate…yet. The owner, who previously owned a number of other SNFs in the area but has since lost them all to bankruptcy, had a history of hiring friends and family at...

Taking a look at the NIC MAP® Construction Monitor as of Q2:15, which examines seniors housing construction in the Top 99 MSAs, we noticed on the AL side there were 22 MSAs with a construction vs. inventory ratio above 10%. If that doesn’t show a frothy development market, then what does? But, what is the cost to build in some of those MSAs? The Sarasota market, which has gotten a good amount of attention for its development pace, has eight assisted living properties under construction, and 893 units, representing a construction vs. inventory ratio of 30.7%. According to our data, which tracks senior living construction projects since 2013, majority-AL communities in the Sarasota market... Read More »Schedule a demo
