Welltower Acquires Two Virginia Memory Care Communities

Brooks Blackmon and Ben Firestone of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors arranged the sale of two memory care communities in Virginia.

The Richmond location opened in 2015, and the Virginia Beach property was completed in 2008. Both feature 48 units and 35,000 square feet. A local developer/operator built and managed the communities, which command the top rates in their respective markets, but is now exiting the assets.

Blueprint Gets Top Dollar for Empty Building

Blueprint Gets Top Dollar for Empty Building

Amy Sitzman and Giancarlo Riso of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors just sold a 70- unit empty building (70 beds) in the Texas Panhandle for $10 million, or nearly $143,000 per unit. That is an extraordinary price given that it was empty, was never licensed and never opened.  Built by Mainstreet in 2019 with 49,959 square feet and fully furnished at the time of the sale (probably needed to dust off the furniture), the facility never opened and was eventually foreclosed on by the bank lender. Mainstreet had built many of these transitional care facilities over the years, several of which never opened as competition for high-acuity, post-acute patients soared, as did the... Read More »
