Cash-Flowing AL Community Trades Hands in Wisconsin

Cash-Flowing AL Community Trades Hands in Wisconsin

Connor Doherty and Ryan Kelly of Blueprint advised on the sale of a 92-unit assisted living community located just outside of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The community’s positive cash flow, well maintained physical plant and established referral base, plus some operational upside, made it an attractive prospect for investors.  We believe the asset was Clifden Court, which was acquired in 2017 by the private equity firm SHA Capital Partners for $9.12 million, or $99,100 per unit, according to LevinPro LTC’s M&A database. Built in 1998, with additions in 1999 and 2010, the community also received a $1 million renovation from SHA shortly after the acquisition. It also stabilized operations... Read More »
Investor Grows Through Seven-Property Portfolio Purchase

Investor Grows Through Seven-Property Portfolio Purchase

A large portfolio of senior care facilities traded in Ohio and Kentucky, commanding a strong price, we believe, in the process. Connor Doherty and Ryan Kelly of Blueprint advised on the sale of the 983-bed, seven-property portfolio, which features mostly skilled nursing beds and some assisted living units. At the time of sale, the portfolio was generating strong cash flow and benefitting from recent Medicaid rate increases and private room incentive payments, boosting both current income and long-term value. According to those familiar with the listing, the operating margin may have also topped 12% or 13% and must have generated significant cash flow. The assets are within a 90 minute... Read More »

Blueprint Closes Two Deals in IN and NC

A high-quality, well-performing seniors housing community in northern Indiana found a new owner with the help of Ben Firestone, Connor Doherty and Ryan Kelly of Blueprint. The 100-unit assisted living/memory care community appears to be Valparaiso Senior Village, which was built in 2018 across 88,000 square feet. It was originally operated by Arrow Senior Living and owned by the developer, The Argent Group LLC, but struggled with lease-up, only reaching 28% before the pandemic stopped new move-ins. So, ownership closed it in September 2020, and the building was sold vacant in May 2021 for $9.15 million, or $93,400 per unit to an unidentified private equity firm. Evans Senior Investments...
