Blueprint Ends Active August With Corpus Christi Closing

Blueprint Ends Active August With Corpus Christi Closing

Trent Gherardini wrapped up a busy month for Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors with the sale of a 204-bed skilled nursing facility in Corpus Christi, Texas. It was owned by a Florida-based owner for generations, but its lease with the existing tenant was coming to an end. Because the owner did not operate in Texas, the facility was deemed to be non-core. In addition, the facility was negatively affected by recent hurricanes, although with no major damage. It sold to a private owner/operator with a growing Texas portfolio. Read More »
Clousing Sells In The Southeast

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

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. Separately, Mr. Will was joined by Kevin Randles to arrange a fixed-rate Fannie Mae loan in another deal.... Read More »
County-Owned SNF Gets New Private Owner

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 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.

CPF’s subsidiary Grace Management will take over operations and will oversee some capital improvements to be made to the property. Read More »
Checking in on Chattanooga

Checking in on Chattanooga

Last month we wrote of the sale of a Chattanooga, Tennessee independent living community to a joint venture between Atlas Senior Living and Veritas Senior Living. Now, we can report that Richard Lynn of Marcus & Millichap represented both the buyer and the seller in the transaction, with an assist from Joseph McKibben, who was the broker of record in Tennessee. The community was originally a hotel but converted in 2008 to feature 136 units. It currently is a low-cost provider in the area, with rents ranging from $1,200 to $1,500 per month, but that’s where the buyers see upside. They plan on making some cosmetic renovations as well. Occupancy was around 85% and with a $3.6 million (or... Read More »
