Juniper Communities Jumps on Pennsylvania Property

Juniper Communities Jumps on Pennsylvania Property

New Jersey-based Juniper Communities added another Pennsylvania senior living property to its portfolio with the acquisition of a 103-unit assisted living/memory care community in Chestnut Hill (Philadelphia MSA). With the deal, Juniper now owns or operates 12 properties in the Keystone State. The campus is centered around a stone mansion built in 1865 set alongside sprawling grounds and walking paths. There was an addition in 1986 that added common areas plus AL units, and another addition in 1998 that added memory care units, AL units and even more common areas. Carlyle Senior Living acquired the community in 2006 for $8 million, or $77,700 per unit. How times have changed. We’re unsure... Read More »
Alley Nails Two Central Texas Sales

Alley Nails Two Central Texas Sales

Matthew Alley of Senior Living Investment Brokerage closed a couple of his transactions right in his wheelhouse in central Texas. That makes 107 seniors housing and long-term care assets sold in the Lone Star State for Mr. Alley. First, he sold a 174-bed skilled nursing facility in San Marcos (30 miles south of downtown Austin), working on behalf of the previous not-for-profit owner. The SNF market in Texas seems to have become more attractive to buyers, with the QIPP program entering its third year, two bills in the state legislature that if passed would increase the per-Medicaid resident pay out, PDPM going into effect later this year, and CMS’ proposed 2.5% national increase to the...

CCRC With Potential Sells in Northern Virginia

CCRC With Potential Sells in Northern Virginia

The team at IPA Seniors Housing highlighted a CCRC’s highly desirable location in the affluent Washington, D.C. suburb of Fairfax, Virginia, to sell the asset to an affiliate of Focus Healthcare Partners. Andrew Hilding, Mark Myers and Joshua Jandris represented the seller, Thompson Associates, in the sale, which did not disclose a price. The property, built in phases from 1980 to 1986, consisted of 306 total beds, including 96 skilled nursing beds and the rest coming with either independent living or assisted living services. Age apparently is holding the community back from competing well in the high-income market, so Focus plans to complete a substantial renovation of it. It has the... Read More »
May’s M&A Deal Boom

May’s M&A Deal Boom

Do buyer’s see a bottom? That is one explanation for the incredibly busy start to May, which has seen 21 acquisitions announced, so far, according to our M&A database DealSearchOnline. And that does not include deals that may bubble to the surface in the coming weeks. So, with seniors housing occupancy still relatively low and the labor supply and cost problem not diminishing, why are so many increasing their interests in the senior care market? Those problems may well be the answer, if buyers believe we are at an operational bottom for the industry. It seems a number of big companies are betting that’s the case, with a number of them announcing large acquisitions and initiatives that... Read More »
