Blueprint Handles Virginia Deal

Blueprint Handles Virginia Deal

A publicly traded company engaged Blueprint to sell a value-add independent living community in a growing submarket of Richmond, Virginia. Built in 1987, the 122-unit community could benefit from investments in the physical plant. It was also not stabilized.  A competitive market generated multiple bids in multiple rounds and improved pricing for the asset, although the price was not disclosed.

Blueprint Sets Pricing Record in New York State

Blueprint advised a repeat private equity client in a record-setting sale of two standalone memory care communities in high barrier-to-entry submarkets in New York State. Combining for 104 units, these assets were purpose-built in the late 1990s and were stabilized at the time of the deal.

Although they were exceptionally strong performers, the buyer market for standalone MC communities can be relatively thin (our webinar on April 23rd touched on the subject). Still, Blueprint sourced a number of reputable buyers with experience transacting in New York, which can be an arduous process, and... Read More »
