Luxury Senior Living Community Sells in Hoover, Alabama
LCS is selling its 232-unit senior living community in Hoover, Alabama, almost exactly three years after acquiring it in a joint venture with Walton Street Capital. LCS still left its mark at the community, converting 24 assisted living units to memory care in 2015. Built in 2009, the community currently features 160 independent living, 48 assisted living and now 24 memory care units on its 17-acre campus. Monthly rents averaged $4,148 for independent living, $4,700 for assisted living and $5,500 for memory care. The average income in Hoover (just outside of Birmingham) exceeds $110,000 per household, making it one of the wealthier areas of the southeast. So, the facility hasn’t had a... Read More »
A Not-for-Profit’s Skilled Nursing Saga
After several years of operational difficulties and financial losses, a not-for-profit owner is selling its 75-bed skilled nursing facility in Odessa, Texas, with the help of Charles Hilding, Ryan Fleming, Mark Myers and Joshua Jandris of IPA Seniors Housing. The facility, which we believe to be on the older side, hadn’t always been a financial drain. In fact, as recently as 2014, it generated revenues of over $3 million and operated at a 10% margin. However, ownership extensively renovated the building in 2015/16, which required the closure of a wing. The project hit both operations and the owner’s liquidity hard, prompting the sale. The buyer, Trinity Healthcare, assumed operations in... Read More »
The Ensign Group Shores Up Its Iowa Skilled Nursing Presence
The Ensign Group kept its steady deal flow coming with the acquisition of a 74-bed skilled nursing facility in Des Moines, Iowa. This makes six properties in Iowa for Ensign, which leased the facility to its Midwest-based subsidiary, Gateway Healthcare. Occupancy was just 74%, but that is typical of Ensign acquisitions. The Iowa deal is similar to the company’s acquisition of a 100-unit assisted living/memory care community in Las Vegas, Nevada, which we detailed in the April issue of The SeniorCare Investor. That property could also improve its census, which stood at 45% at the time of the sale. This tendency of Ensign to acquire value-add properties (at the pace it has been acquiring)... Read More »
Two Quick Sales for Senior Living Investment Brokerage
Ryan Saul of Senior Living Investment Brokerage closed out the month in style with two transactions. First, in Decatur, Illinois, Mr. Saul sold two senior living communities located across the street from each other. Built in 2001, Keystone Gardens is a 50-unit independent living community, while Keystone Meadows, which was built in 1999, features 60 units of assisted living. Both communities are 72% occupied. These were the only Illinois properties for the Michigan-based seller, which had reached their hold on the investment and decided to liquidate. The buyer, a Michigan-based regional operator with three other communities in Illinois and others across the Midwest, plans to leverage... Read More »
IPA Seniors Housing’s High Quality Sale
We hope the team of Mark Myers and Joshua Jandris from IPA Seniors Housing had a big celebratory dinner in San Diego for their latest skilled nursing transaction, which involved seven facilities and 1,456 total licensed beds. Called “The McGuire Portfolio,” these facilities are located mainly in the Buffalo, New York area (five), with one in East Patchogue, Long Island and one in Warren, Michigan. The Warren facility was the largest with 297 beds, while the others range from 153 to 216 beds. Occupancy was the lowest at the Michigan facility (at 90%), but was consistent at around 96% across the rest of the portfolio, which averaged roughly 35 years old. The portfolio was made more...
