Plains Commercial Arranges SNF Lease

Plains Commercial Arranges SNF Lease

Plains Commercial arranged the lease of Davis West Nursing Home, a 177-bed skilled nursing facility in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Daniel Morris of Plains was engaged to market the facility on a confidential basis at the request of the landlord. The exiting operator is a not-for-profit that made the decision to exit the SNF operating business. The facility was also suffering from a depressed census which had not fully recovered from the pandemic. So, it offered a new operator significant upside through further lease-up and operational changes.  After the bidding process, the landlord chose to engage with a Chicago-based operator, which is taking on its first facility in Arkansas with this lease....

Allen McMurtry Retires

Allen McMurtry Retires

After an exceptional 35-year career representing seniors housing owners and operators, our good friend Allen McMurtry has finally decided to retire and enjoy life in North Carolina, where he has been biking and hiking for years. Most recently he was head of seniors housing investment sales at Grandbridge Real Estate Capital, but had been passing the torch to Dave Kliewer and Jay Jordan for the past several years. Hmm, sound familiar? He also spent time at Cushman & Wakefield (13 years) and CLW Realty Group (17 years). I first got to know Allen in the late 1980s when we competed against him to represent Barnett Banks of Florida in the sale of two retirement communities in default in... Read More »

Blueprint Finds a Behavioral Health Buyer for Texas Transaction

Sometimes in seniors housing, the better buyer comes from behavioral health. That was the case in Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors’ sale of an assisted living/memory care community near Dallas, Texas. Featuring 65 units, the community was originally developed in 1996 but received substantial renovations in 2020. It consisted of large units, amenity spaces and outdoor areas.  However, intense market competition and surrounding labor pressures negatively impacted the community. Although occupancy was decent, RevPOR was still low (albeit improving) and the community (while profitable) was not covering its debt payments. So, Blueprint implemented a tiered marketing campaign... Read More »
