Priority portfolio
CareTrust REIT picked up a portfolio of skilled nursing facilities in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, adding a new tenant relationship in the process. Priority Management Group will take over operations, under a master lease agreement with CareTrust, at four recently built (or recently renovated) skilled nursing facilities that total 540 skilled nursing beds and 28 assisted living units. The portfolio is expected to generate first-year annual cash rent of $8.6 million, resulting in an initial cash yield of 8.9% on the $95.9 million, or $168,838 per bed, purchase price. We should note that the average price per bed for skilled nursing facilities in the four quarters ended September 30, 2016 is... Read More »Bensalem Blues
There is some work to be done for the new owner of an entrance-fee CCRC in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. Juniper Communities (headed by CEO Lynne Katzmann) purchased the community for $13.65 million, or $38,343 per unit, which is well off its 2005 (yes, 2005) price of $17.35 million, or $48,464 per unit. Back then, the unit breakdown was very similar to today’s, which is currently 279 independent living units, 60 assisted living units and 17 skilled nursing beds. Plus it was operating at a 16% margin with a 95% occupancy rate. While the community’s current operations were not disclosed, we have to assume they have fallen off some given the 21% decline in price. Built in 1981 with expansions in... Read More »
A Premier Purchase
Premier Senior Living Group added a 23rd seniors housing community to its portfolio, and entered the Pennsylvania market at the same time. Founded by industry veterans Wayne Kaplan and Robert Borsody, the New York City-based Premier Senior Living already had operations in Michigan (9), New York (6), Ohio (3), North Carolina (2) and Florida (2). This new addition in Pennsylvania is located near Scranton in the town of Moosic. The stand-alone 35-unit (58 beds) memory care community was built in 1996 and is well occupied in the mid- to high-90s. Premier used its own equity to fund the $8.5 million, or $242,857 per unit, purchase price. Read More »
Divest in the Southwest
A joint venture between Westport Capital Partners and Integro Healthcare Consulting is swapping two seniors housing assets located in the Southwest. First, in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the JV is selling a 99-unit independent living/assisted living community with a checkered past to Sabra Health Care REIT for $22 million, or about $220,000 per unit. In addition, there are 46 individually-owned condos. Originally conceived as an IL for-sale condominium complex geared towards those in the LGBT community, the property opened in 2008 during the Great Recession, and had a difficult time leasing up under inexperienced ownership. The joint venture between Westport Capital Partners and Integro... Read More »
Brad brokers in Birmingham
When faced with the option of expanding its 45-unit assisted living community in Trussville, Alabama (Birmingham MSA), or exiting the industry altogether, a local owner/operator chose the latter, at a price of $4.5 million, or $100,000 per unit, with a 7.4% cap rate. Indeed, the owner had already completed initial planning for a Phase II expansion on the 4.5-acre campus. But the community, which was built in 2009, experienced a dip in census to 82%, although this was trending up at close of escrow. Operating margin was solid at approximately 22% on a trailing-12 month basis. Birmingham, Alabama-based Atlas Senior Living was the buyer, which is planning minor renovations to the common...
