Summit Healthcare REIT Makes Large Portfolio Acquisition

Summit Healthcare REIT Makes Large Portfolio Acquisition

Summit Healthcare REIT is entering Georgia with the acquisition of eight skilled nursing facilities across the state. Purchased for $130 million, or $157,000 per bed, the portfolio comprises 826 licensed beds. That per-bed value is certainly high for SNFs, but these days with so many buyers on the hunt for few facilities, we’ve seen bids creep up and up. A wholly-owned subsidiary of Summit is purchasing the portfolio, which will be leased back to the existing operator on a triple net basis. The undisclosed operator has a strong existing presence in the Peach State. CIBC U.S. and Oxford Finance funded the debt on the transaction. With this deal and another acquisition closed in 2021, Summit... Read More »

Real estate investment firm Eagle Arc Partners has purchased a portfolio of three skilled nursing facilities in Massachusetts from an independent owner/operator seeking to exit the skilled nursing industry.

The facilities earned combined revenues of $40.7 million and had an NOI of $2.03 million, for a 5.0% margin. Not bad, but could certainly be improved. The state of Massachusetts recently instituted new legislation that would eliminate all three... Read More »

Louisiana SNF Portfolio Finds New Owner

Louisiana SNF Portfolio Finds New Owner

A Louisiana-based owner/operator looking to exit the long-term care industry has sold a portfolio of five skilled nursing facilities with the help of Evans Senior Investments. The portfolio, which ranges in age from 10 to 25 years old (with the exception of one property), was sold across three separate transactions. First, a 130-bed SNF sold in Rayne, Louisiana for $14 million, or $108,000 per functional bed. While the facility is licensed for 130 beds, it has an additional 54 banked beds that could be used for an expansion in the future.

Toby Siefert and Nick Cacciabando of Senior Living Investment Brokerage closed out 2021 with the sale of a 90-bed skilled nursing facility in a tertiary market of northeastern Pennsylvania. Built in 1976 and renovated in 2012 and 2015, Athens Health and Rehabilitation was initially purchased by a private owner as a vacant, unlicensed asset and went through the process of relicensing, restaffing and lease-up.

At the time of sale, the facility had 62% occupancy, $6.06 million of revenue and negative... Read More »
