Healthpeak Properties Completes More Sales

Healthpeak Properties Completes More Sales

As the healthcare REITs start their quarterly reporting season, of course all eyes will be on the occupancy trend, which for most of them will not be so great. But one aspect about what is happening, and often little noticed, is that the news is showing that the demand for seniors housing assets is still quite strong, pandemic be damned.   Obviously, Healthpeak Properties would rather not be selling off its seniors housing portfolios, especially if they had been performing well, since in years past they provided the highest yield to support the REIT’s dividend and growth. But performance had suffered, and the decision was made to sell. No one is crying for them,... Read More »
Welltower Still Sees Opportunity

Welltower Still Sees Opportunity

We all know that Welltower has been selling a few billion of seniors housing assets just like Healthpeak Properties has. But the difference is that Welltower is still buying. Not only that, they picked up a 790-unit portfolio operated by Harbor Retirement Associates for $132 million, or $167,000 per unit. The seller? Healthpeak (see story above). Even though the portfolio had negative lease coverage, we are sure Welltower is looking at that well-below-replacement-cost pricing.  But Welltower needs to pay attention to its own operating portfolio, where occupancy continues to decline. The average census was 77.3% in November, falling to 76.3%... Read More »
