JCH Gets High Price for Orange County Asset

JCH Senior Housing Investment Brokerage announced a big sale of a senior living community in Southern California in what is the second-largest single-asset transaction of 2019 (by price), so far. Totaling 214 units of independent living, assisted living and memory care, the community is located in the high barrier to entry Orange County. Occupancy was a strong 94%, and the community reported a remarkable 53% operating margin. It was previously owned by a national owner/operator, which decided to sell based on the current cap rate environment. Given the drop in average cap rates for both the assisted living and independent living markets, that reasoning makes sense. After a confidential... Read More »

In addition, excess land intended for future development or another IL expansion was included in the sale. Given the general strength of... Read More »

The $108.9 million loan will be used to both finance the purchase of two seniors housing communities in Florida and refinance a previous Capital One loan that the JV used to acquire three communities in California. All five assets are cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted (which helps provide for competitive pricing and terms), plus the transaction was structured to allow other assets to be added to the existing portfolio in the future. The Florida acquisition involved a 106-unit community in Fort Lauderdale and a... Read More »
