Ziegler Handles Chicago SNF Deal

Ziegler Handles Chicago SNF Deal

A for-profit buyer is taking over ownership of a not-for-profit skilled nursing facility in an affluent north Chicago suburb. Ziegler acted as advisor to the Illinois-based not-for-profit seller, with Managing Director Nick Glaisner leading the transaction and Melanie Shaffer in support.  This was an older, multi-story facility, having been built more than 100 years ago with additions made over time. The facility features more than 100 licensed beds, but ownership operated at under 100 beds at the time of the transaction. It was losing money on relatively stable occupancy, suggesting that expenses were a little inflated (typical of most not-for-profit owners). But that also means the... Read More »
Blueprint Sells Plano Property

Blueprint Sells Plano Property

Blueprint facilitated the sale of a seniors housing community in Plano, Texas. Built in the late 1990s, the community offers 65 units of assisted living and memory care.

These communities were purchased in a sizable portfolio transaction pre-pandemic, under a value-add thesis that would switch operators to create regional groupings coupled with the intent to meaningfully invest in renovations and repositioning. However, the pandemic and rising interest... Read More »
Carnegie Capital Finances Two SNF Acquisitions

Carnegie Capital Finances Two SNF Acquisitions

JD Stettin of Carnegie Capital could not get enough of Texas this month, closing two loans for skilled nursing facilities in the state before attending the NIC Conference in Dallas. Both loans facilitated acquisitions of the facilities. In one, Stettin arranged the assumption of a HUD loan on a 120-bed SNF in west Texas, which carries a sub-3% rate and represented 75% of the purchase price.  The same seller also divested a 150-bed SNF in west Texas, after its relationships with local admissions sources faded over the last year. That led to a substantial decrease in the Medicaid census and cash flow, and upon closing the acquisition, the facility’s EBITDAR was negative, excluding QIPP... Read More »
