Transaction teamwork
Marcus & Millichap sent a veritable army into Norwood, Ohio to arrange the sale of two skilled nursing facilities. Mark Myers, Joshua Jandris and Charles Hilding, plus Stan Folk, Joel Dumes and Steve Anevski out of M&M’s Cincinnati office and Peyton Stanforth out of the Chicago O’Hare office, represented the seller, a private family investment group, in the transaction. The lease was ending for the tenant operator, which was interested in building new facilities. So, Messrs. Myers, Jandris, Hilding and Stanforth procured the buyer, a real estate investment trust with a large presence in the region that leased the facilities to a new third-party tenant.

Closing by Clousing
With the help of Brad Clousing of Senior Living Investment Brokerage, Sabal Financial sold its 41-unit assisted living community in Cumming, Georgia.

Both communities opened in the fourth quarter of 2015 and are leasing well. The Arbor Company manages the portfolio. Read More »Bankruptcy breeds opportunity
After an exceptionally busy month for Texas M&A (details included in the upcoming issue of The SeniorCare Investor), we have one more. Highland Capital Management’s Cornerstone Healthcare Group was the stalking horse and ultimate buyer of a bankrupt not-for-profit senior care company with two senior living communities in Texas and one in Tennessee. The target, UGHS Senior Living, was actually profitable but filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in November 2015 after its not-for-profit parent University General Health System filed for bankruptcy protection in February 2015 and its creditors were seeking repayment through various UGHS subsidiaries, including UGHS Senior Living.
