Leaving the Land of Lincoln

Leaving the Land of Lincoln

Illinois is often cited as a state in which skilled nursing owners and operators do not want to do business in. Its uncertain reimbursement market and fiscal situation make for a risky investment, particularly outside of the more densely populated, higher income Chicagoland. That was the impetus for an owner/operator to sell its two Illinois skilled nursing facilities in the greater St. Louis area, with the help of Josh Salzman, Michael Segal and Ben Firestone of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors. The exit wasn’t surprising for the previous owner, which had not intended to operate the facilities for the long term. The two facilities are both located in Edwardsville and combined for...

Mozart Healthcare’s Texas Portfolio Swells to Four

Mozart Healthcare’s Texas Portfolio Swells to Four

Genesis Healthcare may be exiting Texas right now, but Chicago-based Mozart Healthcare doubled down in the Lone Star State, acquiring a 124-bed skilled nursing facility in El Paso to complement its three existing SNFs (located in Winnsboro, Kennedale and San Augustine) in the state. The new addition is the company’s first in West Texas, and it is in need of an operational turnaround. The facility consists of two buildings: one with 74 beds built in 2013, and a vacant building built in 1960 with 50 inactive licensed beds. The not-for-profit seller maintained census around 90% based on operational beds, but cash flow was negative. Mozart and incoming operator, Dallas-based Paramount... Read More »
Cushman & Wakefield’s Carolina Sale

Cushman & Wakefield’s Carolina Sale

For the second time, Prudential Real Estate Investors is selling its large senior living community in Cary, North Carolina, 14 years after the first sale. Originally built in 1999 with 80 independent living units, 36 assisted living units and 36 memory care units, the community has been operated by Kisco Senior Living since its development. During that time, Kisco has overseen several ownership changes, starting in 2004, when Prudential Real Estate Investors sold the community to Walton Street Capital for about $27.4 million, or $180,000 per unit. Walton Street added 14 IL cottages with 24 units in 2008-2009, perhaps not the best time for an IL addition. Nevertheless, Walton Street resold... Read More »
Another Genesis HealthCare Disposition

Another Genesis HealthCare Disposition

In a move to reduce its debt, raise some cash and focus on its core markets, the beleaguered Genesis HealthCare announced a definitive agreement to sell 23 Texas skilled nursing facilities that comprise 22 owned buildings and one leased. The deal will bring Genesis’ Lone Star State portfolio to one lone leased skilled nursing facility, which the company also plans to exit soon. Assuming both transactions close, Genesis will lose approximately $173.7 million and $7.4 million of aggregate revenue and EBTIDA, respectively. It will also be relieved of about $97 million of indebtedness and $1.8 million of annual cash lease expense, both good signs for the company. New York City-based Regency... Read More »
