Former Petersen Property Finds New Owner
A former Petersen Healthcare seniors housing community sold in Girard, Illinois, thanks to Ryan Saul of Senior Living Investment Brokerage. Built in 2002 and featuring 48 units of independent living and assisted living, the community was 72% occupied but losing more than $100,000 a year on $1.2 million of revenues. The lender had taken control of the property in late 2024 and hired Gardant to manage the community until a sale occurred. Gardant was able to bring occupancy up to 83% and financial performance to breakeven at the time of the sale. A private owner with other multifamily real estate holdings in the area that was looking to get into seniors housing was the buyer, paying... Read More »
Cash-Flowing AL Community Trades Hands in Wisconsin
Connor Doherty and Ryan Kelly of Blueprint advised on the sale of a 92-unit assisted living community located just outside of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Investor Grows Through Seven-Property Portfolio Purchase
A large portfolio of senior care facilities traded in Ohio and Kentucky, commanding a strong price, we believe, in the process. Connor Doherty and Ryan Kelly of Blueprint advised on the sale of the 983-bed, seven-property portfolio, which features mostly skilled nursing beds and some assisted living units. At the time of sale, the portfolio was generating strong cash flow and benefitting from recent Medicaid rate increases and private room incentive payments, boosting both current income and long-term value. According to those familiar with the listing, the operating margin may have also topped 12% or 13% and must have generated significant cash flow. The assets are within a 90 minute... Read More »
Blueprint Closes Two Deals in IN and NC
A high-quality, well-performing seniors housing community in northern Indiana found a new owner with the help of Ben Firestone, Connor Doherty and Ryan Kelly of Blueprint. The 100-unit assisted living/memory care community appears to be Valparaiso Senior Village, which was built in 2018 across 88,000 square feet. It was originally operated by Arrow Senior Living and owned by the developer, The Argent Group LLC, but struggled with lease-up, only reaching 28% before the pandemic stopped new move-ins. So, ownership closed it in September 2020, and the building was sold vacant in May 2021 for $9.15 million, or $93,400 per unit to an unidentified private equity firm. Evans Senior Investments...
