Clousing Sells In The Southeast
Senior Living Investment Brokerage’s Brad Clousing helped a private fund divest an assisted living/memory care community in Marietta, Georgia that did not fit into its geographic criteria. Built in 1995, the 56-unit community was just 59% occupied and operated at a 2.5% margin on under $2.2 million of revenues. Paying $7.06 million, or $126,100 per unit, a regional operator based in Atlanta is the new owner. Then with Daniel Geraghty, Mr. Clousing sold a 96-unit independent/assisted living community in Due West, South Carolina. It too struggled with occupancy, at just 72%, and it didn’t help that its not-for-profit owner was in financial distress. However, the new owner, a partnership... Read More »
CBRE’s Two Latest Transactions
The CBRE team showed their strength in their latest two transactions. First, it was announced that not only did Lisa Widmier represent a publicly-traded REIT in its sale of a 120-unit assisted living community in Sterling Heights, Michigan to Chicago Pacific Founders, but Aron Will arranged the acquisition financing too. Through CBRE’s Freddie Mac Seller Servicer direct lending program, Mr. Will secured a $15.5 million, floating rate loan, with a 10-year term and 60 months of interest only. Chicago Pacific Founders’ wholly owned subsidiary Grace Management will take over operations.

County-Owned SNF Gets New Private Owner
A county-owned skilled nursing facility in Fremont, Ohio may see a brighter future under its new private owner, which acquired the property for $2 million, or just $24,400 per bed. The three-story, 82-bed facility was built in 1965 and expanded in 1989. But age was not its only issue. Occupancy was 56% at the time the property went to market, but actually dipped below 50% during the process. It also had a high Medicaid census (at 81%) and operated at just a 3% margin on approximately $4.16 million of revenues. When the previous operator/tenant, Pristine Senior Living, decided to exit the Ohio market at the end of the lease, the county elected to sell and exit the long-term care business.... Read More »
Chicago Pacific Founders Makes It Five
Chicago Pacific Founders just made its fifth acquisition of the year (all since the start of April), after just three (disclosed) deals in both 2017 and 2016. The newest addition is an independent/assisted living community located in Sterling Heights, Michigan (Detroit MSA), and sold for an undisclosed price. Built in 1989, it was formerly operated by Atria Senior Living and most recently reported a 93% occupancy rate (up from 88% at letter of intent). CPF’s subsidiary Grace Management will take over operations and will oversee some capital improvements to be made to the property. Read More »
