Welltower Announces Major Active Adult Acquisition

Welltower Announces Major Active Adult Acquisition

As many of you know, with the onset of the pandemic, large acquisitions were in short supply. This was because there were few sellers of large portfolios who would take a haircut on pricing, and there were few lenders who would want to fund a billion-dollar plus deal. Well, it took the largest healthcare REIT to break this deal logjam. Welltower just announced its planned acquisition of 25 purpose-built active adult communities with nearly 3,000 units mostly in the Pacific Northwest. These are all managed by Affinity Living Communities, which will continue to manage them for Welltower. The purchase price is $969 million, or nearly $248,000 per unit. The transaction will be funded by cash... Read More »

Seniors Housing Asset Divested for Behavioral Health Conversion

Seniors Housing Asset Divested for Behavioral Health Conversion

SNF Portfolio Trades in California

SNF Portfolio Trades in California

A portfolio of six skilled nursing facilities in California was finally sold in multiple phases, with the two last facilities closing after the completion of HUD debt assumption and state regulatory approvals. The facilities sold for $154 million in total, and while the combined beds were not disclosed, pricing was reportedly strong on a per-bed basis and possibly a record for any portfolio SNF deal in the state, again on a per-bed basis. Gideon Orion of Walker & Dunlop facilitated the sale, his third over $150 million closed in the last 12 months.  Located in Southern California, the facilities were on the older side (typical of the state), having been built from the 1960s to the...

Marcus & Millichap Closes Two SNF Deals

Marcus & Millichap Closes Two SNF Deals

The Knapp-Stahler Group at Marcus & Millichap closed a couple of skilled nursing deals on the eve of the eCap conference in Miami, so a celebratory pina colada by the pool sounds appropriate. First, Nick Stahler and Austin Diamond sold an 85+ bed facility in East Texas to a regional owner/operator that was selected for its proven track record and ability to close “all cash” in an expedited time frame. The facility had historically struggled with occupancy (it was in the mid-50% range at the time of closing), and rising expenses due to inflation created further challenges. There was clearly room for improvement in those areas, plus in the payor mix and in additional revenue via... Read More »
