A couple more closings for Cambridge
A month after refinancing two skilled nursing facilities in the Chicago area owned and operated by Alden Management Services, Cambridge Realty Capital Companies did it again, but for two other facilities. The first, a 217-bed facility in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, received a $9.155 million HUD loan with a 29-3/4-year term. A 207-bed facility in Bloomingdale, Illinois was the second, and received an $8.35 million HUD loan with the same 29-3/4-year term. Cambridge Realty Capital Ltd. underwrote both transactions.

We discussed earlier this week the two different assisted living markets, separated by “A” and “B” properties, but the difference was even starker in the independent living market. In 2014, a record year by all accounts for independent living, “A” properties sold on average for $277,900 per unit (boosted by a number of very high quality communities), while “B” properties averaged $155,200 per unit, a difference of $122,700.

Who is buying these CCRCs and how are they valuing them? And how is the acquisition of a CCRC different from that of an independent... Read More »Another Recession-hit CCRC sells
Nearly a decade on from the housing market collapse in 2007 and despite a relatively strong comeback in the sector, we are still writing about CCRCs just recovering from a drastic drop in entrance fee receipts in the throes of the Great Recession. That being said, three years after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, a 223-unit CCRC located in the World Golf Village of St. Augustine, Florida, recently sold in auction to a partnership between LCS and HCP. Operated by LCPS Management, the not-for-profit CCRC opened in 2001 and reached 99% occupancy in 2006 and was 94% occupied in 2008 following a 15-cottage independent living expansion. However, during the Great Recession, more... Read More »Schedule a demo
