Two Assisted Living Communities Trade in Florida 

Two Assisted Living Communities Trade in Florida 

Ken and Damien Carriero of Colliers International announced a seniors housing closing involving two assisted living assets in Florida. Prompting the sale was the undisclosed seller’s plan to liquidate their assisted living properties to potentially invest in other asset types.   Included in this deal was the 16-unit/32-bed Green Gables in Vero Beach and the 32-unit/40-bed Jane Adams House in Amelia Island. Green Gables was built in 2000, and Jane Adams House was built in 1997. The communities were 87% and 90% occupied, respectively, which is certainly strong compared with the rest of the industry. Combined revenues reached $1.155 million, with the communities reporting combined EBITDA... Read More »

Newmark Announces Several High-Quality Community Sales

The team at Newmark certainly demonstrated variety with its productivity in the first four months of the year in seniors housing and care transactions. The team closed eight sales, four refinances, three acquisition loans and three construction loans for a host of clients across the country.

Former Mainstreet Facility Getting New Life

Former Mainstreet Facility Getting New Life

The former Mainstreet “transitional care” facilities that were developed with much fanfare continue to sell as vacant (but beautiful) assets. Amy Sitzman and Giancarlo Riso of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors just sold another one in Temple, Texas to a buyer with alternative plans for the property. Built in 2019 with 70 private units, the facility never operated, so that made an easier conversion project. The high-quality building featured plenty of common area and modern finishes. A competitive market process saw Blueprint identify an experienced Texas-based real estate investor as the buyer who structured a lease with a national healthcare system based in Southern California to...

Blueprint Sells NJ Community Out of Receivership

Blueprint Sells NJ Community Out of Receivership

So, how do you sell an underperforming, over-leveraged community that is in receivership and was originally built in 1965. That is a tough one, but it did help that Priority Life Care was the court-appointed receiver and manager effective about the end of 2020. This is what Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate was dealing with when it was hired to sell a 164-unit community in Pennsauken, New Jersey called Ivystone Senior Living. Apparently, the owners refinanced existing HUD debt in the year before the pandemic hit, taking out some excess cash. What was not known (or forgotten) was that in order to participate in a relatively lucrative Medicaid program for the “independent living” units, the... Read More »
