Sunrise, Hines and Welltower Open Another Manhattan High-Rise
Sunrise Senior Living, Hines and Welltower announced the opening of The Apsley in Manhattan’s Upper West Side.

It opened in December 2021 with 151 assisted living and memory care units, which was just months after Omega Healthcare Investors and Maplewood Senior Living opened Inspīr Carnegie Hill on the Upper East Side.

Development Has Slowed, But Not Stopped
Ziegler just closed a $25.34 million financing for a new seniors housing community in San Antonio, Texas, but these funds do not include the cost of construction. The new money will be used to purchase 27 acres in San Antonio, pay for the preconstruction development costs, and the costs of issuing the new debt. The community, to be called Bella Vida at La Cantera, will consist of 153 independent living apartments, 40 IL cottages and 16 memory support assisted living units. This pre-construction debt comes to about $121,000 per unit. There was no breakdown of the three uses of the proceeds. The sponsor is the not-for-profit Forefront Living San Antonio.

Every now and then, we like to look back at what the senior care industry was dealing with in past decades, which helps give us perspective on the problems of today and shows us lessons that are never learned by some. Looking at the market for skilled nursing facilities 10 years ago, we see a lot of similarities, from the high investor interest amid threats of reimbursement cuts and staffing issues (sound familiar?) to allegations of inappropriate use of Medicaid and Medicare funds by providers.

60 Seconds with Swett: What Will the Boomers Want?
The baby boomers have been referenced as the reason for investors to enter the seniors housing market for more than a decade, even though we are still several years away from the front end of them aging into the vast majority of seniors housing communities. But there is no guarantee that boomers will move into seniors housing, especially if new tech can better solve for health care, activities of daily living, property maintenance and socialization in the home, not to mention economic factors that may prevent seniors from selling their homes or may impact their savings and investment accounts to render seniors housing services unaffordable to them. Beyond all that, what if the current... Read More »
New IL Community Funded by Ziegler
Investment banking firm Ziegler just closed a $31.96 million tax-exempt financing on behalf of EveryAge (formerly United Church Homes and Services), which is a North Carolina-based not-for-profit that consists of three retirement communities and other programs. The funds will be used to construct BellaAge Hickory, located in downtown Hickory, North Carolina, which is 15 miles from EveryAge’s Abernathy Laurels, a CCRC. BellaAge will have 95 units consisting of one- and two-bedroom units with monthly rents ranging from $2,043 to $3,632. These units will be considered “affordable” and will fill a void in the local market. There are limited services and the community does not appear to offer... Read More »Schedule a demo
