Senior Living Investment Brokerage Announces Four Closings

Senior Living Investment Brokerage Announces Four Closings

The floodgates opened at Senior Living Investment Brokerage. Just as we entered July, the firm announced four closings for three skilled nursing facilities and a memory care community. Jason Punzel, Brad Goodsell and Vince Viverito first represented a local owner/operator in their sale of a 59-unit memory care community in Springfield, Oregon (Eugene MSA). This was the seller’s only senior living community, but they will stay on as a consultant post-closing.   Originally built in 1988 and expanded in 1996, the community comprised nine buildings across the 5.06-acre campus. It was well occupied at 98%, but new ownership could improve the operating margin which stood at 17% on about $6.52... Read More »

JLL Handles Youngstown, Ohio Sale

JLL Handles Youngstown, Ohio Sale

A large senior care campus in Youngstown, Ohio sold earlier this year in a deal handled by Mike Garbers of JLL Capital Markets. Previously owned by a not-for-profit, it was built in stages and now features approximately 300 units spanning the whole senior care spectrum. It was considered a value-add opportunity with some capex needs, and private ownership can usually come in and make some quick expense adjustments at a former not-for-profit operation.   Indeed, a for-profit owner stepped in to buy the property at an undisclosed price. This was their first acquisition, but the principal does have experience in seniors housing operations. The deal apparently closed pre-COVID, so some... Read More »
