Another Publicly Traded REIT Joins the M&A Mix

Another Publicly Traded REIT Joins the M&A Mix

Another well-capitalized institutional player is stepping into the seniors housing fray, adding fuel to an already aggressive bidding environment. And based on its initial acquisitions, with one closed at more than $1 million per unit, the target seems to be high-quality assets. Prices are rising fast in that segment, and as the buyer pool continues to grow (especially with new entrants that are well-capitalized), that upward pressure should continue.  Chiron Real Estate Inc. (formerly known as Global Medical REIT) is a REIT that acquires healthcare facilities and leases them to physician groups and regional and national healthcare systems, announced purchase agreements for three...

Distressed AL/MC Community Gets New Owner

Distressed AL/MC Community Gets New Owner

Scott Frazier, Kory Buzin and Steve Thomes of Blueprint advised a special servicer in the seniors housing sector on the sale of Spanish Vines, a well-maintained assisted living/memory care community. It sits in a densely populated Pocket-Greenhaven neighborhood of southwest Sacramento, California. The 88-unit community was generating negative EBITDAR across all trailing periods, with month-over-month census, RevPOR and expenses fluctuating materially as operations worked towards stabilization. The asset benefitted from its infill location and recently renovated physical plant. Blueprint also underwrote an alternative path to upside through California’s Assisted Living Waiver program,...

A Flurry of Deals Cross the Finish Line

A Flurry of Deals Cross the Finish Line

As part of Senior Living Investment Brokerage’s nine separate closings at the start of May, there were a couple of skilled nursing sales. First, Nick Cacciabando and Matthew Alley represented a local group of investors in the sale of a 60-bed skilled nursing facility in Ottumwa, Iowa. The investor group operated the facility themselves, and it was 95% occupied with a solid 12% margin on $6.715 million of revenues.  Vista Woods Care Center was built in 1993 and is one of the newer facilities in southeast Iowa. It also held a CCRC license in relation to an adjacent seniors housing community. Emerging from an active bidding environment was a California-based investor, which paid $6.35... Read More »
Investor Group Buys Naples Community

Investor Group Buys Naples Community

A group of investors picked up a value-add seniors housing community in Naples, Florida. Built in 1999, North Haven Senior Living features 132 units of assisted living and memory care. It appears that Brookdale Senior Living previously operated the community, which showed very well and did not require much in terms of capex. We understand that occupancy improved significantly during the sale process, as well. Silver Wave Capital announced the purchase (its sixth overall), along with lead investor Persimmon Ventures and operating partner Senior Living Asset Management, which will take over management of the community. Ten other seniors housing investors participated in the deal, including... Read More »
