Healthpeak Properties’ Florida Sale Handled By Newmark

Newmark Knight Frank has closed another seniors housing sale in the middle of the COVID-19 crisis, representing Healthpeak Properties in its sale of a community in Lantana, Florida. Originally built in 1986, the property features 173 total units, with 115 for independent living and 58 for assisted living residents. Occupancy was around 83%.

Blueprint Closes Ohio SNF Deal

Blueprint Closes Ohio SNF Deal

Connor Doherty, Ryan Kelly, Chris Hyldahl and Gideon Orion of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors closed a skilled nursing deal in Ohio on May 1. It took a motivated seller, experienced buyer and a willing lender to get the deal done, not always an easy combination these days.  An older vintage with some recent updates, the 150-bed skilled nursing facility is located near Youngstown, Ohio. It was owned by a REIT and managed by a large national operator, but the time had come to sell. Turnover in key leadership positions had caused occupancy to decline, which we are sure added to the motivation to exit.   Blueprint positioned the property as a value-add opportunity, if a new...

Capital Funding Group Finances Illinois SNF Acquisition

Capital Funding Group Finances Illinois SNF Acquisition

Capital Funding Group announced its involvement in an acquisition financing supporting the purchase of a skilled nursing facility in Pekin, Illinois that closed earlier in April (that we covered in last month’s issue of The SeniorCare Investor. Built in 1964, the facility was previously owned by a California-based individual who had inherited the day-to-day operations from her late husband.   Managing the facility from California proved to be too much for the seller, who decided to retire. Occupancy was 62% at the time, but with a strong 57% quality mix, 52% of the census coming from private pay. However, it was generating a loss of about $200,000 on $5.24 million of revenues.  ...

April M&A Market Drops Off

April M&A Market Drops Off

The April deal total for the seniors housing and care market is in, the preliminary total at least, and if it is any precursor for M&A activity in the next few months, or longer…oh boy. A strong start to the month and anemic weeks afterwards pushed April’s transaction count to 21 publicly announced deals. We expect that figure to rise, but not by much since we imagine anyone who closed a deal in the last few weeks would want to shout that from the mountaintop.   It’s true that several April closings were all-but-completed by the time COVID-19 reared its ugly head in the country. They just needed a little nudge, and some good faith from the buyer, seller and lender. But... Read More »
