Public Companies Spring Into Action This June

Public companies have made a statement so far in June, with a couple of REITs, one publicly traded operator and two foreign firms announcing acquisitions this week.

Blueprint In Buchanan, Georgia

Blueprint In Buchanan, Georgia

Trent Gherardini of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors assisted a long-time owner of a skilled nursing facility in Buchanan, Georgia in the sale of the asset for $2.7 million. The facility was originally built as a hospital in the 1960s, until the seller converted it to a 60-bed SNF in the mid-1980s. It reportedly had a good reputation in the area, attractive quality mix and strong history of cash flow, but its age, 80% occupancy and location in rural west Georgia probably kept the price down to about $45,000 per bed, or less than half of the national average for SNFs sales in 2016 ($99,200 per bed). The owner and its operator decided to sell in advance of the lease expiration... Read More »
Birchwood Moves Into Forest Park

Birchwood Moves Into Forest Park

Equipped with a new roof and a new upgraded license, a 50-unit assisted living community in Forest Park, Georgia sold to Birchwood Healthcare Properties for $4 million, or $80,000 per unit. Originally built in 2000, the community was owned by a local doctor, who has decided to exit the business after retirement from his medical practice. The community was just 75% occupied, and it brought in under $50,000 in EBITDA on approximately $1.7 million of revenues, for an operating margin of just 3%. So, operations could obviously improve. The community has received significant capital upgrades to its exterior over the past five years, including a new roof, and has also upgraded to a new assisted... Read More »
