Cushman & Wakefield Recapitalizes New England Seniors Housing Portfolio

Cushman & Wakefield Recapitalizes New England Seniors Housing Portfolio

Cushman & Wakefield served as the exclusive advisor to a joint venture between LCB Senior Living and Harrison Street Real Estate Capital in their recapitalization of four New England seniors housing communities. LCB had already been operating three of the properties in Massachusetts (Ipswich) and Connecticut (South Windsor and Avon) since their construction in 2014 and 2015. But the fourth property (in Lincoln, Rhode Island) was built in 2009 and acquired by LCB and Prudential Real Estate Investors in 2013 for $11 million, or $183,300 per unit. The communities market to independent living residents and allow for transitions to higher care levels including assisted living and memory... Read More »

Capitalizing On Location In Concord, California

The joint venture between Agemark Senior Living and Trellis Real Estate Group just executed on their third investment together, acquiring a 101-unit senior living community in Concord, California (San Francisco MSA). No purchase price was disclosed, but Aron Will of CBRE arranged an $11.2 million floating-rate loan, with a five-year term and 36 months of interest only, from a national bank to finance the deal. Originally built in 1970, the community is situated on 2.7 acres of irreplaceable land in the Bay Area. Plus, it is located within three miles of two large medical centers totaling 799 licensed beds and within five miles of both downtown Concord and downtown Walnut Creek, along with... Read More »

Evans Senior Investments Closes High-Priced SNF Sale

Evans Senior Investments Closes High-Priced SNF Sale

Skilled nursing facility prices may have tempered from their peak in 2016 (we hosted a webinar on the very subject last month), but Evans Senior Investments bucked that trend by selling a pair of New Jersey skilled nursing facilities for $31.5 million, or nearly $190,000 per bed. The facilities’ locations probably had the most impact on that high price, as they were located just 16 miles apart in Ridgewood and Montclair, just outside of New York City. Other factors would normally suggest a lower price, however. Both were originally built in the 1960s but have received updates in the last five years. Occupancy averaged in the mid-80s, with one facility reporting a 50% quality mix while the... Read More »
Two Transactions From Marcus & Millichap

Two Transactions From Marcus & Millichap

Two separate teams from Marcus & Millichap announced transactions so far this month. First, the Knapp Group Seniors Housing Advisors, led by Jim and Justin Knapp, sold an 88-bed skilled nursing facility in the Detroit, Michigan area for approximately $7.0 million, or $80,000 per bed. Built in 1998, it was experiencing declining occupancy under its not-for-profit ownership. However, a local buyer with a history of turning underperforming SNFs into five-star facilities saw an opportunity and pounced. Then, Tony Cassie and Sam Thompson facilitated the sale of a 238-unit senior living community in Westminster, Colorado (Denver MSA). Its previous owner built the community in stages from...
