Blueprint Handles Two East Coast Sales

Blueprint Handles Two East Coast Sales

Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors handled a couple of sales on opposite ends of the East Coast. First, in Connecticut, Steve Thomes and Chris Hyldahl sold two skilled nursing facilities that were acquired by a private investment group based in New York City as part of a 10-SNF portfolio in late 2017. Combining for 197 licensed beds, one facility is located in the Hartford MSA, and the other is in Fairfield County near the New York border.   Older facilities, they were occupied in the mid-70s when the marketing process started in 2019, and it’s fair to say the pandemic and ensuing lockdowns took a further toll on census. Revenues also at the time of marketing were approximately $16... Read More »
The Prestige Group Sells Vacant Personal Care Home in Pennsylvania

The Prestige Group Sells Vacant Personal Care Home in Pennsylvania

Jim Baranello of The Prestige Group had an uphill battle marketing for sale a vacant personal care facility in the northeast area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during the pandemic, but he got the deal done.

Ventas Buys Big

Ventas Buys Big

Ventas announced one of its largest acquisitions in a while, a billion-dollar deal. Unfortunately, it is not in seniors housing. And we probably will not see a billion-dollar deal in seniors housing this year.  The Ventas Life Science and Healthcare Real Estate Fund bought a “trophy” life science portfolio in the South San Francisco life science cluster for $1.0 billion. The portfolio consists of a campus of three newly developed or renovated buildings totaling nearly 800,000 square feet that are 96% leased. For the quantitatively challenged, that comes to $1,250 per square foot, which is much more expensive than any seniors housing portfolio that has sold. The tenant... Read More »
