Sabra Acquires Two Seniors Housing Communities

Sabra Acquires Two Seniors Housing Communities

There are clearly some good deals available out there for value-add properties, and if there has been any softening in prices, those bargains may extend to stabilized communities too.  Sabra Health Care REIT announced in its fourth quarter earnings call that it plans on spending approximately $1.5 billion on acquisition opportunities, with the majority allocated to be seniors housing assets. A couple of transactions have now trickled out, and sure enough, both involved seniors housing properties selling... Read More »

Greystone Funds Ohio SNF Acquisition

Greystone Funds Ohio SNF Acquisition

To fund the acquisition of a skilled nursing facility in Youngstown, Ohio, Fred Levine of Greystone arranged bridge financing for the new owner. Built in 1964, the facility features 99 beds and has been owned and operated by Guardian Healthcare. However, going forward, Bal Harbour Management will take over day-to-day management.   The bridge loan comes out to $3.98 million, or around $40,200 per bed.

Cedar Communities Acquires Georgia Seniors Housing Community

Daniel Geraghty, Bradley Clousing and Dave Balow of Senior Living Investment Brokerage have sold a seniors housing community in the Georgia town of Statham, which is located in between Atlanta and Athens. A family owner/operator originally developed the community in 1997 and decided early in 2020 to divest their only asset and retire from the business.   They are leaving behind a strong operation, as the property has consistently maintained occupancy between 90% and 100% across the 46 personal care units, all of which were studios. There is an opportunity to convert some of those units into two-bedroom options, as well as improve the operating margin.   That is what... Read More »
