60 Seconds with Swett: The Development Dilemma

60 Seconds with Swett: The Development Dilemma

The difficult thing about development right now is that it is both a very tough time to build because of higher capital costs but also may be the time that many developers and investors need to start projects. We know, easy for us to say, especially as the Fed signals that rates are likely to stay high for longer and as the 10-year Treasury rate peaks above 4.5% again. But the reality is that if indeed there will be a supply and demand imbalance in a couple of years, then the predevelopment work (if not shovels in the ground) has to start right now because of how long it would take to get those developments open and leased up by the time baby boomers begin turning 80. That process takes a... Read More »

Active Adult Expansion A Hit With Investors

Active Adult Expansion A Hit With Investors

How often have we heard that new development is dead? Or that CCRCs (LPCs) are on their way out? Too often. But how often do you hear about an Active Adult expansion on a CCRC campus, and one with entrance fees? Not often enough. That didn’t stop Three Pillars Senior Living Communities and Cain Brothers from putting together a plan that may really change the 120-year-old CCRC in Wisconsin. Three Pillars was originally founded in 1905 as Masonic Home to provide care for indigent Masons. Today, it has a 50-bed nursing center, 17 memory care units, 52 assisted living units (CBRF), 75 catered living/assisted living units (RCAC) and 123 Type C independent living units.  The rents for the...

Omega Healthcare Reports, American Healthcare Prices IPO

Omega Healthcare Reports, American Healthcare Prices IPO

There had been some nasty rumors in the market leading up to the release of Omega Healthcare Investors’ fourth quarter and year-end earnings release. Some people fretted that the situation had deteriorated with too many of their customers, which could force them to cut their dividend rate. You can’t believe everything you read, except on these pages. While there are still some tenant issues, the overall situation is improving. Because they are leases, the information comes with a three-month lag. For the 12 months ended September 30, 2023, occupancy was 79.1%, up from the previous quarter and up 290 basis points from the year-ago quarter. EBITDARM coverage was 1.63x in the third quarter,...
