  • Berkadia Handles Detroit-Area Deal

    Berkadia closed the sale of Oakleigh of Macomb, an 85-unit assisted living/memory care community in Macomb, Michigan (Detroit MSA). Built in 2019, the community has 55 assisted living and 30 memory care units. It was 91% occupied, so given its vintage and performance, we imagine it attracted significant investor interest. Berkadia represented the... Read More »

Private Lender Provides Debt

Private Lender Provides Debt

Kennedy Funding, a New Jersey-based direct, private lender, provided debt to fund the purchase of a seniors housing community in Inverness, Florida, about 75 miles north of Tampa. Crown Court sits on 0.7 acres and features 55 units of assisted living. It was in need of significant renovations, and the loan partially funds the improvements. The debt was closed quickly to allow the buyer to start on the project. VSEVA, a Florida LLC, bought the community for $3.725 million, or $74,500 per unit. Vera Healthcare will continue operating the community after taking over in December 2024. The property was renamed Vera Assisted Living – Inverness Downtown, and there are plans to expand with an...

Large Kentucky SNF Portfolio Trades

Large Kentucky SNF Portfolio Trades

There is something going on in the Kentucky skilled nursing market, with a favorable rebasing change that was approved by the legislature in July 2024 leading to a significant increase in Medicaid funding, along with increased interest in owning and operating facilities in the Commonwealth. We imagine that facilities are realizing an immediate boost to their value as a result of the changes to the reimbursement environment, and Blueprint is likely securing great prices for its Kentucky clients. The firm has announced four closings totaling more than $200 million in September alone in the Commonwealth, probably helped by the fact that its own Kyle “Bluegrass” Hallion is from and lives in...

Details on Marx Development Group’s Nine-Figure SNF Deal

Details on Marx Development Group’s Nine-Figure SNF Deal

Marx Development Group and its affiliate Majestic Care’s acquisition of four skilled nursing facilities in West Virginia is set to close at the end of October, and the deal is still attracting a lot of attention in the state. That is because the seller is the State of West Virginia, and headlines are usually made when a for-profit buyer is taking over any state-owned or not-for-profit facility.  The scrutiny is often unfair, given the single-factor analysis most journalists perform on or parrot the results of private equity’s ownership of skilled nursing facilities. They almost always mislead the public on the impact of these acquisitions on the operations and financial health of the... Read More »
Seller Exits Seniors Space with Sale to Private Equity Group

Seller Exits Seniors Space with Sale to Private Equity Group

Senior Living Investment Brokerage’s Brad Goodsell, Jason Punzel, Vince Viverito, Jake Anderson and Taylor Graham teamed up to sell Westmont of Brentwood, a 132-unit seniors housing community in Brentwood, California. This was the seller’s only seniors housing asset, and they are exiting the space. Built in 2007, the community features independent living, assisted living and memory care units, with occupancy in the mid-60s. So, there is an opportunity for the new owner, an experienced private equity group with a background in seniors housing, to improve operations and increase value. The buyer will partner with an established West Coast operator that is growing its presence in California.... Read More »
Former Brookdale Asset Sale Sets Record Per-Unit Price in Montana

Former Brookdale Asset Sale Sets Record Per-Unit Price in Montana

A standalone independent living community in Great Falls, Montana, just sold for one of the highest per-unit prices in the state. Developed in 1995, The Iris Senior Living was the highest-quality IL building in the area and was consistently fully occupied. It features 60 units and operates at a nearly 40% margin. Even though it is an older building, it is in good condition and commanded a $253,000 per unit price (or $15.2 million in total), at an 8.8% cap rate. The cap rate makes sense given the market and vintage of the asset, and the price is the highest on a per-unit basis in the LevinPro LTC deal database in the state of Montana.  Blake Bozett and Spud Batt of The Zett Group...
