Twin Light Capital Acquires in Florida

Twin Light Capital Acquires in Florida

After completing its first acquisition in Minnesota, a 13-property assisted living portfolio, Twin Light Capital headed south and recently closed on a smaller community in Florida. But as they say, it is all about location. Twin Light, a private equity investment management firm that focuses on seniors housing and care, purchased Hudson Manor Assisted Living in the Davis Islands neighborhood of Tampa, Florida.   The island (it used to be two islands that some landfill turned into one) has a population of just 6,000, but Hudson Manor gets about 50% of its residents from the island and 50% from south Tampa. It is a relatively posh area (Tom Brady just bought a house there as he joins the... Read More »

Evans Senior Investments Represents Receiver in First Phase of Ohio Sale

Evans Senior Investments Represents Receiver in First Phase of Ohio Sale

The closings keep on coming from Evans Senior Investments, with the firm announcing two seniors housing deals in the last week. Those make the sixth and seventh properties sold by Evans since the pandemic started.  The first deal was a small one, but certainly wasn’t straightforward. Evans represented the court-appointed receiver of a six-unit independent living community that sits on a larger 171-bed senior care campus with mostly skilled nursing beds, and assisted living units too. Built in phases from 1963 to 2006, the campus had been owned and operated by a second-generation family member for over 30 years, until they decided to sell in 2016 in order to focus on their existing assisted...

Brooklyn Skilled Nursing Facility Acquired by Joint Venture

Brooklyn Skilled Nursing Facility Acquired by Joint Venture

Affiliates of TL Management and Fortis Business Holdings have acquired a 240-bed skilled nursing facility in Brooklyn, New York. Public records first revealed the deal in April 2019, revealing Fortis acquiring a 50% interest, Zevi Kohn (of TL Management) a 40% interest, and Eliezer Jay Zelman the remaining 10% interest. The facility was previously owned by the not-for-profit RiseBoro Community Partnership. Occupancy was consistently in the mid-90 percent area, with a majority Medicaid census. The most recent financials from 2017 show a loss of nearly $3.9 million, even with that strong occupancy. But as soon as TL took over management, the facility had positive cash flow within months.  ... Read More »
