Ziegler Arranges Austin Acquisition
Ziegler’s Investment Banking Senior Living team served as exclusive advisor to Brazos Presbyterian Homes, Inc. in its purchase of an entrance-fee CCRC in Austin, Texas. Featuring 173 independent living units, 41 IL villas, 20 assisted living units, 16 memory care units and 60 skilled nursing beds on about 55 acres, the community had previously been sponsored by The Ex-Students’ Association of the University of Texas, known as the Texas Exes. In a blind competitive national search to find the best candidate for affiliation, not-for-profit Brazos Presbyterian emerged as the winner, adding to its two existing communities in Houston. After signing a letter of intent in October 2017, Brazos... Read More »
Blueprint’s Summer Bonanza
If you blinked, then you may have missed Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors’ five transaction announcements in just over 24 hours during the dog days of August, bringing the firm’s 2018 closings to 43, so far. That is just 10 off of their entire 2017 total. Chris Hyldahl, Ben Firestone, Gideon Orion and Michael Segal closed three transactions as a team, including the largest of the bunch, when they arranged the sale of nine skilled nursing facilities and 981 licensed beds to a private equity investor for over $81 million, or approximately $83,000 per bed. Formerly owned by a publicly-traded REIT and managed by a third-party operator, the facilities are the first part of a staggered... Read More »
Another Missouri Purchase For Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV
Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV returned to Missouri yet again to acquire an assisted living community in the St. Louis suburb of Warrenton. The single-asset transaction follows two portfolio deals for the REIT in the Show Me State, which included eight skilled nursing facilities bought for $88.2 million and two skilled nursing facilities that were a part of a 24-property (the rest located in Illinois) acquisition for a combined $78.5 million. G-A IV acquired the Warrenton property in a RIDEA structure with the incoming operator, Meridian Senior Living, and will own 98% of the JV. Built in 2000, the 53-unit community was 91% occupied, with a 100% private pay census, and in the past... Read More »
Watermark Retirement Corporation Partners with Singapore Conglomerate
Singapore conglomerate Keppel Corporation is staking a claim in the U.S. seniors housing market with its acquisition of a 50% stake in Watermark Retirement Corporation. That 50% interest plus 50% of the minority interests held by Watermark’s owners in certain communities managed by the company is valued at approximately $77.3 million. This is a big step for Keppel, which had previously not been active in the space. Watermark currently manages 52 seniors housing communities and about 9,400 total beds in 21 states, with a development pipeline of an additional eight properties scheduled to open by 2020. Watermark already had begun reaching across the Pacific with Watermark Senior Living China... Read More »
Two Michigan Transactions from IPA Seniors Housing Trio
Mark Myers, Joshua Jandris and Charlie Hilding of IPA Seniors Housing handled two Michigan transactions at the start of August. First was the sale of a four-property skilled nursing portfolio in Michigan, totaling 393 beds. The aging properties are in need of capital improvements, which was reflected in the (undisclosed) pricing. A large Michigan operator (who sourced REIT financing for the deal) purchased three of the facilities, while a local owner/operator in the Detroit area purchased the facility in Wayne. Second was the sale of a 143-bed skilled nursing facility in the town of Zeeland (Grand Rapids MSA), which involved an Illinois not-for-profit, Providence Life Services, as the...
