Burke Wraps Up Tennessee Transaction

Burke Wraps Up Tennessee Transaction

Patrick Burke of Senior Living Investment Brokerage sold a portfolio of three assisted living communities located throughout Middle Tennessee. A group of local investors originally built these properties in the early 2000s to address a need for senior care in smaller, rural markets. As such, there is limited competition at a couple of the locations, and occupancy averaged around 95% for the portfolio, with a 100% private pay census. Plus, the property in the more competitive market was fully occupied. So, the operator (one of the investors) was doing something right. The portfolio consists of a 50-unit community in Lebanon (about 30 miles east of Nashville) and two 38-unit communities in... Read More »

Creativcap Continues Inaugural Year with Several More Closings

Still under a year after its launch, Creativcap has announced three more transactions, with a couple of other closings in the pipeline. First up on the brokerage side, Creativcap Advisory acted as co-broker on a $30 million sale of two senior living communities in the eastern Atlanta market. Built in the 1990s, the communities total 328 units, split among 156 independent living, 140 assisted living and 32 memory care. Combined occupancy was around 80%.

From One REIT to Another

From One REIT to Another

A senior living community in the Dallas, Texas area that has recently fallen on some bad times just changed owners from one publicly traded REIT to another. Built in 1999 with 90 units of independent living, assisted living and memory care, the community was previously operated by Atria Senior Living. It had historically operated at stabilized levels, but leadership turnover and new competition (not surprising to hear from the Dallas-Fort Worth MSA) affected occupancy, which in turn led to discounting and lower cash flow. That’s an all-too-familiar combination in the seniors housing industry these days. So, the publicly traded REIT seller hired Ben Firestone, Michael Segal, Joshua Salzman... Read More »

As part of its larger disposition/restructuring strategy, Capital Senior Living Corporation announced in its third quarter earnings report that it sold two non-core independent living communities in Peoria, Illinois and Springfield, Missouri, generating some healthy proceeds in the process.
