A Utah-based developer is exiting the assisted living industry, with Vince Viverito, Brad Goodsell and Jason Punzel of Senior Living Investment Brokerage handling the final sale. Last month, the same SLIB trio sold the company’s other remaining assisted living assets, which were located in the western United States.

Located in Lehi, Utah (Provo area), the last assisted living community was vacant, having been built by the seller in 2016 with 62 units on 1.5 acres. It sold for $8.95 million, or $144,400 per unit. The owner was focused on divesting the portfolio in order to focus on its core industries (multifamily and retail) and strategically decided to shut down this building to concentrate operations on the three other locations.

Another Utah-based company emerged as the buyer. Focused on the skilled nursing and short-term rehab market, the undisclosed owner/ operator is entering the assisted living market with this deal.
