Ventas, the landlord, selected Sunrise Senior Living to be the community’s new manager, adding a third community to the operator’s Manhattan portfolio.  Anyone who heard former Brookdale CEO Mark Schulte address the ASHA annual meeting in the aftermath of 9/11 will never forget it. He talked about their newest project in lower Manhattan, and there was nary a dry eye in the room.

PE Firm Goes from Development to Acquisitions

PE Firm Goes from Development to Acquisitions

A private equity firm previously focused on development made the switch to M&A in acquiring a newer-vintage but value-add memory care community in an affluent suburb of Chicago, Illinois. The move makes sense, given the opportunities to acquire quality physical plants for below the cost to build, and usually far below that cost.  Built in 2015, Gurnee Place Memory Care features 42 units in the town of Gurnee. The community was 90% occupied and had positive cash flow, but a receiver engaged Blueprint to maximize proceeds for the bank and stakeholders involved. They received five offers from private equity groups, real estate investment firms and regional owner/operators before a... Read More »
