  • Berkadia Handles Detroit-Area Deal

    Berkadia closed the sale of Oakleigh of Macomb, an 85-unit assisted living/memory care community in Macomb, Michigan (Detroit MSA). Built in 2019, the community has 55 assisted living and 30 memory care units. It was 91% occupied, so given its vintage and performance, we imagine it attracted significant investor interest. Berkadia represented the... Read More »
  • Developer Divests MC Communities to Kalesta Healthcare

    G Capital helped facilitate the sale of two memory care communities in Silicon Valley in an off-market transaction.

Community Purchased through HUD Assumption

Chad Mundy of the Knapp-Stahler Group of Marcus & Millichap sold an 82-unit assisted living/memory care community in Lewiston, Idaho. Built in phases in the early 2000s, the community featured five separate buildings, one of which was vacant after sustaining damage from a flood. As a result, occupancy was lower, based on the 89 licensed beds, and there was a roughly 50% Medicaid census. The asset was struggling financially, and the previous owner had not made debt payments for months. It was purchased via a HUD assumption by an experienced operator who had already taken over management and begun an operational turnaround.  Read More »

The Zett Group Rounds Out Q4

The Zett Group closed out Q4 with several closings in the Pacific Northwest. First was the sale of Fox Hollow, a 58-unit seniors housing community in Eugene, Oregon. Built in 1988 and renovated in 2003, the community features 51 assisted living units and seven independent living “cottage-style” units. Set in a nice area of Eugene, it was owned by a partnership including Pacific Northwest senior care veterans Jim Clay, Paul Redhead and the late Gene Hand. Nightingale Living, managed the community, which had recently received a new roof, new siding and a cosmetic refresh. There were a handful of interested parties, but a regional owner/operator, Ohana Ventures, emerged as the strongest... Read More »

Legacy Owner/Operator Retires with Sale

Daniel Morris of Plains Commercial Real Estate rang in the new year with the sale of a couple assets in Enid, Oklahoma, collectively referred to as the Greenbriar Portfolio. The legacy owner/operator-seller built two of the buildings, and converted the third to seniors housing after purchasing it in the 1990s. The skilled nursing facility comprised 150 beds, the assisted living community featured 60 units, and the independent living community had 61. The physical plants were very well-maintained. Second-generation leadership was ready to retire, prompting the divestment of the assets that had never previously been sold. The process was competitive, with a regional group ultimately selected...

Healthpeak Properties Jumps Back into Seniors Housing

Ever since Healthpeak Properties essentially exited the seniors housing market in 2021, we had wondered when they would come back. We even thought they could have jumped back in just a year later when rumors were circulating that Brookdale Senior Living was in talks about a potential sale.  The M&A opportunity in seniors housing, and the fact that its REIT peer group have been accelerating their acquisition efforts in the last year, must have been too good to pass up, as Healthpeak is now forming Janus Living, a REIT that will own, acquire and develop seniors housing properties under a RIDEA structure. An IPO is planned in the first half of 2026, after which Healthpeak intends to... Read More »
