NHI Invests in Oklahoma and Oregon

National Health Investors, Inc. invested $74.3 million, or $216,000 per unit, including transaction costs, for the acquisition of four properties with 344 units in Oklahoma and Oregon. The purchase price was partially funded by the cancellation of a $9.5 million mortgage loan with an 8.5% interest rate.

The properties and healthcare operations will be included in NHI’s SHOP segment and will continue to be managed by Compass Senior Living.

Class-A Community Trending Towards Stabilization Sells in Missouri

A Class-A assisted living/memory care community in O’Fallon, Missouri, sold thanks to Alex Florea, Kyle Hallion and Kevin Lukehart of Blueprint. Opened in 2018 with 134 units, The Landing of O’Fallon features two-bedroom, one-bedroom and studio options, with a number of units sharing Kory-and-Kyle bathroom configurations.

But at the time of launch, the community had solid... Read More »
Joint Venture Grows Its Seniors Presence in Oklahoma

Joint Venture Grows Its Seniors Presence in Oklahoma

Stacked Stone Ventures, a real estate investment firm founded by Kent Eikanas, announced a new acquisition, adding a 147-bed CCRC in Oklahoma to its growing portfolio. Stacked Stone made the purchase with joint venture partner Praxis Capital and started a new relationship with the incoming operator, Sage Integrated Health.  The campus operated around breakeven with occupancy in the mid-80s and a healthy Medicare census. It was previously owned by a not-for-profit organization, so we imagine there may be immediate upside from expense management. The joint venture bought the asset for $10.8 million, or $73,500 per bed. There are several other transactions in the works at Stacked Stone, so... Read More »
