In addition, they were operating around breakeven and offered a value-add opportunity to a new owner. After confidentially approaching three groups that showed interest, Mr. Blackmon secured the buyer, an Alabama-based owner looking to grow its presence in the state. Read More »

Milwaukee-Based Operator Buys Struggling Wisconsin Community

Milwaukee-Based Operator Buys Struggling Wisconsin Community

After being placed into receivership when its not-for-profit owner failed to make its bond payments, a senior living campus in Racine, Wisconsin just sold to a regional owner/operator with the help of Jason Punzel and Ryan Saul of Senior Living Investment Brokerage. Featuring 74 units of independent living (with limited services) and 40 units of assisted living, the community was built in 1989 near the shore of Lake Michigan. Amid the financial difficulties, occupancy fell to 77% for the IL and just 28% for the AL. After SLIB was hired to solicit offers and led the court-approved sale, a Milwaukee-based operator emerged as the buyer, paying $5.5 million, or $48,250 per unit, at an 8.0% cap... Read More »

Blueprint Sells Turnaround Texas Asset

Blueprint Sells Turnaround Texas Asset

A memory care community in need of a total turnaround just sold in the Turtle Creek neighborhood of Dallas, Texas. Ben Firestone and Joshua Salzman of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors represented the seller, a publicly traded REIT whose national operator partner deemed the community to be non-core. The 32-unit community was both too small and too old, in addition to operating with low occupancy and no positive cash flow. It was also in need of significant capital expenditures to allow it to compete in its albeit highly desirable location. Despite operational hurdles throughout the transaction process, the value-add community eventually sold to Iris Senior Living, a growing local... Read More »
