Blueprint Facilitates Sale of AL Community in South Carolina

Blueprint Facilitates Sale of AL Community in South Carolina

Brooks Blackmon, Amy Sitzman and Giancarlo Riso of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors recently facilitated the sale of a 72-unit assisted living community in Columbia, South Carolina. Built in the late-1990s, the all-private pay community recently underwent a $1.25 million renovation. It features all private units and mid-market rates. The marketing process focused on regional owners and operators, and Blueprint ultimately advised the seller to move forward with a buyer that all parties had previously transacted with. Given the level of familiarity between the buyer and seller, as well as the all-cash offer, the transaction closed within 90 days of going under LOI. The buyer will... Read More »

Blueprint Sells Middle Market Community in Washington State

Blueprint Sells Middle Market Community in Washington State

Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors’ Dan Mahoney and Ben Firestone sold a well-maintained, 108-unit senior living community in a growing tertiary market in Washington State. The community provides independent living and assisted living services to middle-income seniors and was historically a good performer. But occupancy dipped to 75% during the pandemic.   We’ve certainly seen worse declines, but that leaves a good amount of room for improvement for the new owner, a regional buyer looking to grow its footprint in the state. The buyer also has plans to complete a modest unit renovation, update the common areas and increase the community private pay census. Blueprint... Read More »
Knapp-Stahler Group Closes Arizona Deal

Knapp-Stahler Group Closes Arizona Deal

Nick Stahler and Hap Knowles of The Knapp-Stahler Group at Marcus & Millichap sold a memory care community in an attractive submarket of Scottsdale, Arizona at the end of June. The deal is the first of the newly formed partnership between Mr. Stahler’s and Jim Knapp’s respective broker teams to create a truly national brokerage service. Mr. Stahler brings a focus on the West Coast, while Michigan-based Mr. Knapp will concentrate on East Coast deals, but we imagine the two teams will help each other out whenever needed too.   Back to the Scottsdale deal, a 1031 exchange buyer paid $5.1 million, or $127,500 per unit for the property, which was struggling at the time of the sale. Built in... Read More »
