Private Asset-Based Lender Acquires Two Senior Notes

Private Asset-Based Lender Acquires Two Senior Notes

Blueprint facilitated the sale of two senior notes secured by 24 seniors housing communities. The portfolio of communities spans approximately 1,200 units across eight states. Prior to the sale, all of the communities securing the notes transitioned to a new, national operator as part of a larger corporate wind down of the borrower. Individual performance at the communities varied notably throughout the portfolio, however, on a consolidated basis the portfolio was roughly 70% occupied and generated revenue of approximately $50 million. Blueprint approached a select group of investors with a strategy to demonstrate that the unencumbered value of the assets exceeded that of the notes’ value,... Read More »

A REIT divested its assisted living/memory care community in an affluent suburb of Salt Lake City, Utah, with the help of Vince Viverito and Brad Clousing of Senior Living Investment Brokerage.

Greene Park Capital Purchases MA Active Adult Community

Greene Park Capital Purchases MA Active Adult Community

Greene Park Capital, a Chicago-based healthcare real estate investment firm, announced its first acquisition of an active adult community in an attractive Boston, Massachusetts suburb. Greene Park made the purchase in partnership with a major institutional investor for an undisclosed price. Built in the last five years, the Class-A community features approximately 225 units. Given the strong market and national owner/operator seller, we imagine it was very well occupied and stabilized. Greene Park has a pipeline in the active adult sector totaling about $250 million, which the firm expects to grow as it seeks out institutional-quality opportunities in major metro and suburban...

Minnesota SNF Finds New Owner

Minnesota SNF Finds New Owner

A skilled nursing facility near Minneapolis, Minnesota, found a new owner with the help of Bob Richards of Senior Care Realty. The facility, built in 1965 and featuring more than 75 beds, was operating around breakeven on approximately $6.5 million of revenues. It was occupied in the low-60s at the time of the deal, so there is certainly room for improvement for a new owner. The seller, a mom & pop, listed the facility at the end of 2023, which is when the facility came under LOI, before it finally sold this month. The offering price was $5 million, but we believe the facility sold for under that. The buyer was an owner/operator with other facilities in the state that used a... Read More »
