Cushman & Wakefield Sells Oregon Memory Care Community
Cushman & Wakefield’s Senior Housing Capital Markets team completed the off-market sale of a 99-unit memory care community in Oregon for $25 million, or $252,500 per unit. The seller, a California-based national operator, had acquired the property as part of a larger portfolio of non-core assets that a public REIT was divesting in 2019. This community also did not fit into that buyer’s plans moving forward, hence the current sale. So, a growing Portland area-based owner/operator with a local and regional presence stepped in to acquire the well-run property. Cushman’s Rick Swartz, Jay Wagner, Aaron Rosenzweig and Dan Baker handled the deal. Read More »

SLIB Sells Underperforming Missouri Skilled Nursing Facility
Jeff Binder and Ryan Saul of Senior Living Investment Brokerage started March with the sale of a 137-bed nursing facility in Missouri. It was relatively large at 137 beds, but occupancy was near 50%. It was not too old, having been built in stages in 1984, 1989 and 1994, but 25 to 35 years old is still old. Located in Ballwin (St. Louis MSA), it was sold because of the facility’s underperformance, despite its good location, by a large Missouri operator. The buyer plans on doing significant renovations and refreshing of some common areas, as it wants to expand its services into the St. Louis MSA. The buyer was selected in September from a pool of five... Read More »
CareTrust REIT Acquires Again
On the back of its purchase of four CCRCs in California last week, CareTrust REIT jumped back in the buyer pool to acquire a 150-bed skilled nursing facility in Santa Barbara. In the off-market transaction, CareTrust also retained the operator, California-based Covenant Care, under an assumed long-term lease. That brings CareTrust and Covenant’s relationship to eight facilities. The REIT spent approximately $15.86 million (excluding around $40,000 of transaction costs), or $105,700 per bed on the facility. The existing lease, which has approximately four years left on its term, with two five-year renewal options, produces about $1.5... Read More »
