Blueprint Sells Another Former-Mainstreet Facility

Blueprint Sells Another Former-Mainstreet Facility

Last month, Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors handled the sale of a vacant skilled nursing facility that was developed by Mainstreet but never opened. We know there were a number of those kinds of facilities, with all the bells and whistles but never an open sign, and sure enough, the Blueprint team closed another sale of one.  The 94-unit facility was built in 2017 in Phoenix and featured both skilled nursing (transitional care) and assisted living units. But its lender foreclosed on the property. There is certainly potential in the new building with plenty of common space and located just down the street from Banner Estrella Medical Center, plus two other major hospitals within... Read More »

Bloom Senior Living Blossoms Again

Bloom Senior Living Blossoms Again

Last week we disclosed that Bloom Senior Living and its affiliate Kandu Capital hit a home run with its sale of a 94-unit assisted living and memory care community in St. Petersburg, Florida. They purchased it for $5.5 million in 2017 and just sold it for $12.5 million. Not too shabby.  Well, it looks like they did it again, this time selling a 91-unit assisted living community in Lakewood, Ohio for $11.8 million, or nearly $130,000 per unit. While that price per unit will not be breaking any records, Bloom had purchased the community in 2010 for just $3.1 million out of the Sunwest Management bankruptcy.   Do the math, and that is a 380% return...

SLIB Secures Three Sales on Two Coasts

SLIB Secures Three Sales on Two Coasts

Jason Punzel, Brad Goodsell and Vince Viverito of Senior Living Investment Brokerage announced a couple of closings out West. Starting in rural central Oregon, the trio sold a 27-unit/35-bed assisted living community in the town of Maupin for $1.6 million, or $59,300 per unit. Built in 2005, this community was fully occupied, but with a 60% Medicaid census. It was operating at a 20% margin on over $1 million of revenues, which is solid but presents an opportunity for a new owner.  The current regional owner/operator chose to focus on its larger communities in major West Coast MSAs and decided to sell the community to an Idaho-based regional owner/operator that does focus on these...
