Underperforming Asset Trades in California

Underperforming Asset Trades in California

A seniors housing community in Vacaville, California, sold with the help of Nick Stahler and Chad Mundy of The Knapp-Stahler Group at Marcus & Millichap. At the time of LOI, the asset was underperforming and financially strained.

Communities Sell in California and Missouri

Communities Sell in California and Missouri

Haven Senior Investments closed a deal right before year-end and announced a couple of others from the preceding months. First, an assisted living community was facing a hard closing deadline, with a 30-day escrow and commercial loan that would have been canceled if the transaction did not close by December 31. Rebecca Van Wieren and Scott Fuller closed the sale just under the wire, finalizing the transaction at 4:30 PM on New Years Eve.  Built in the 1960s and renovated since then, the community sits in the Bay Area of California. It features 19 units and 35 beds, with 94% occupancy. The local doctor-seller had tried to divest the community with the help of two other agents, but a... Read More »

The Saga of Genesis HealthCare Continues

The Saga of Genesis HealthCare Continues

Genesis HealthCare was once one of the largest and most successful skilled nursing companies. But it grew too quickly, made some bad investments over the years (did we mention the billion-dollar merger with The MultiCare Companies?), and it always played the leverage game, whether with leases or debt, and usually both. Last summer, it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for the second time, and in 2021 it came close to filing but got bailed out with a lease restructuring and a $100 million investment. It may have been better off with a BK filing five years ago. Instead, it seemed to put off the inevitable. Nearly two months ago, Pima Capital Partners appeared to be the winning... Read More »

Evans Closes Another High-Priced SNF Sale in NV

Just a month after selling a skilled nursing facility in Nevada for the highest per-bed value ever seen in the state, Evans Senior Investments returned to sell another facility in the Las Vegas MSA for the second-highest per-bed price. That is some momentum. Little was disclosed on the deal, but the 1970s-built facility has approximately 150 beds, with a significant number of private units. It also had a healthy quality mix and some behavioral patients. The facility sold to a regional owner/operator looking to grow its presence in Nevada.  The high price from December was close to $325,000 per bed. We know of the sale of Horizon Ridge in Henderson, Nevada, in January 2025 for $33 million,... Read More »
