A Flurry of Deals Cross the Finish Line
As part of Senior Living Investment Brokerage’s nine separate closings at the start of May, there were a couple of skilled nursing sales. First, Nick Cacciabando and Matthew Alley represented a local group of investors in the sale of a 60-bed skilled nursing facility in Ottumwa, Iowa. The investor group operated the facility themselves, and it was 95% occupied with a solid 12% margin on $6.715 million of revenues. Vista Woods Care Center was built in 1993 and is one of the newer facilities in southeast Iowa. It also held a CCRC license in relation to an adjacent seniors housing community.

But the mixed bag of results can be frustrating from shareholders’ point of view, especially as they see a disconnect between Brookdale’s anemic performance and headlines on strong sector fundamentals, healthy and rising occupancy levels across the sector and in most Brookdale markets, and appealing opportunities for growth. Plus, it is on top of many years of underperformance to... Read More »
Two Public REITs Continue Their SHOP Push
Two public REITs honing in on the seniors housing sphere have announced their first quarter earnings results. LTC Properties reiterated its commitment to seniors housing again, and Janus Living, Healthpeak Properties’ spin-off REIT that debuted in the public markets in March, is already showing momentum.
