Blueprint Arranges Atlanta-Area Transaction
Brooks Blackmon, Amy Sitzman and Giancarlo Riso of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors represented a national owner/operator in its sale of a 160-unit assisted living/memory care community located near Atlanta, Georgia. The large, well-maintained community is set in an affluent suburb and recently underwent a multi-million-dollar renovation. It catered to a more middle-income resident, but occupancy had been lagging for some time before the sale. Blueprint leveraged the asset as an opportunity to buy a community in a major metro area for significantly below replacement cost and yielded seven qualified offers in the bidding process. Ultimately, a buyer with a... Read More »
Greystone Funds Ohio SNF Acquisition
To fund the acquisition of a skilled nursing facility in Youngstown, Ohio, Fred Levine of Greystone arranged bridge financing for the new owner. Built in 1964, the facility features 99 beds and has been owned and operated by Guardian Healthcare. However, going forward, Bal Harbour Management will take over day-to-day management. The bridge loan comes out to $3.98 million, or around $40,200 per bed. Assuming a typical 70% loan-to-value, that puts the purchase price around $57,400 per bed, which is right around the average for facilities built more than 40 years ago of $56,100 per bed, according to the 26th Edition of The Senior Care Acquisition...

Cedar Communities Acquires Georgia Seniors Housing Community
Daniel Geraghty, Bradley Clousing and Dave Balow of Senior Living Investment Brokerage have sold a seniors housing community in the Georgia town of Statham, which is located in between Atlanta and Athens. A family owner/operator originally developed the community in 1997 and decided early in 2020 to divest their only asset and retire from the business. They are leaving behind a strong operation, as the property has consistently maintained occupancy between 90% and 100% across the 46 personal care units, all of which were studios. There is an opportunity to convert some of those units into two-bedroom options, as well as improve the operating margin. That is what... Read More »
Blueprint Arranges Complicated SNF Transaction
A struggling skilled nursing facility in Dayton, Ohio that has gone through survey issues and financial insolvency in recent years found a new owner with the help of Connor Doherty and Ryan Kelly of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors. The 108-bed facility, which was built in 1975 and has been relatively well maintained, was previously owned by a not-for-profit. Operations had been relatively consistent in the past several years, and even during COVID, but there are certainly many improvements to be made to both census and cash flow. The HUD loan on the property was eventually turned back to the agency, and the fair market value of the asset was determined to be less than the HUD... Read More »
