All-Cash Skilled Nursing Deal Closes

All-Cash Skilled Nursing Deal Closes

An undisclosed buyer acquired a 99-bed skilled nursing facility in Ohio through an all-cash transaction after the seller’s senior lender pushed for an exit. Stan Klos III of 3G Healthcare Real Estate handled the deal. An initial buyer walked away from the deal after a conversion from a lease-only structure was declined by the lender.

This was a result of the facility’s quality points decreasing after an Ohio Medicaid rate reset. Additionally, hospital discharge volume softened, with occupancy falling from the high-80s to the low-80s.  A qualified, sidelined... Read More »

Another Publicly Traded REIT Joins the M&A Mix

Another well-capitalized institutional player is stepping into the seniors housing fray, adding fuel to an already aggressive bidding environment. And based on its initial acquisitions, with one closed at more than $1 million per unit, the target seems to be high-quality assets. Prices are rising fast in that segment, and as the buyer pool continues to grow (especially with new entrants that are well-capitalized), that upward pressure should continue.  Chiron Real Estate Inc. (formerly known as Global Medical REIT) is a REIT that acquires healthcare facilities and leases them to physician groups and regional and national healthcare systems, announced purchase agreements for three...
