Blueprint Handles Sentara Healthcare’s SNF Exit

Blueprint Handles Sentara Healthcare’s SNF Exit

We covered Virginia-based hospital system Sentara Healthcare’s exit from the skilled nursing business in September and recently learned of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors’ involvement in the deal. Sentara’s exit was brought about because of its planned merger with North Carolina-based Cone Health; however, the combined business will still maintain two PACE facilities in southeastern Virginia.   The skilled nursing portfolio consists of seven facilities located throughout southern Virginia, with five surrounding the Norfolk/Virginia Beach market. They were mostly built in the late-1980s and early 1990s, with one opening more recently in 2017. They range in size from 84 beds to 216... Read More »
Ziegler Structures Debt For Radiant Senior Living Acquisition

Ziegler Structures Debt For Radiant Senior Living Acquisition

Ziegler served as exclusive capital structuring advisor on a debt placement for the borrower, Radiant Senior Living, to acquire a portfolio of three seniors housing communities in the Pacific Northwest. Two of the properties are located near Seattle, Washington, while the third is in Bozeman, Montana.   Previously owned by a publicly traded REIT, they combine for 36 independent living and 204 assisted living units and generate in-place, stabilized cash flow. However, there is an opportunity to add value through economies of scale, which suits Radiant and its 18-property portfolio in the Pacific Northwest.  The $42.6 million in financing consisted of both senior and mezzanine debt,...

SLIB Handles CBRF Sale in Wisconsin

Ryan Saul and Patrick Burke of Senior Living Investment Brokerage handled the sale of a 50-unit assisted living community in Racine, Wisconsin, five years after the community last sold. The buyer back then (and the current seller) was Meridian Senior Living and its joint venture partner Blue Vista Capital. They paid $6.5 million, or $130,000 per unit, for the community, although we do not know the 2020 sale price.  Originally built in the 1960s but gutted, renovated and converted to a Community-Based Residential Facility (assisted living community) in 2008, the community was around 94% occupied at the time of the November 2015 sale. The operating margin also stood at 25% at that time,... Read More »
