A wholly-owned subsidiary of Summit Healthcare REIT purchased three skilled nursing facilities in San Bernardino County, California with a total of 191 beds. The purchase price came to $20,055,000, or $105,000 per bed, higher than the average but well below the highest prices paid in the state.
The facilities will be triple-net leased to California-based Rockwell Healthcare, a new tenant for Summit Healthcare REIT. Summit is a registered non-traded REIT that focuses on seniors housing and care real estate in the U.S. Its current portfolio includes interests in 46 seniors housing facilities in 13 states.
