Off To The Races
Just as the horses were coming into the stretch at the Derby last Saturday, Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors was closing on the sale of two skilled nursing facilities in Kentucky. They were built in 1993 and 1999, and one of the facilities underwent a $1.7 million renovation in 2014. Combined occupancy was 80% with revenues of $10 million. The sales price was $7.5 million, or about $51,000 per bed. Chris Hyldahl, Gideon Orion, Michael Segal and Ben Firestone represented the California-based seller, and the buyer was ClearView Healthcare Management. Just to the south, Brooks Blackmon and Trent Gherardini of Blueprint sold a 120-bed skilled nursing facility in Butler,... Read More »
Greystone Goes To Canada
Greystone Real Estate Advisors closed back-to-back portfolio sales in Canada. Mike Garbers and Cody Tremper, together with TD Securities, represented the seller of 10 senior living communities located throughout the greater Toronto and Ottawa areas.

Evans Finds The Solution
Evans Senior Investments (ESI) closed on the sale of two properties in New York known as the Robinson Terrace Portfolio. It included a 120-bed skilled nursing facility that was built in Samford in 1973, and a 55-unit assisted living community built in 2011 two miles away. Despite the rural location, occupancy had been relatively high, above 90% at both facilities. The problem, however, was the cost structure and the fact that the Medicaid census was high in both properties. The campus was owned and operated by a not-for-profit, and maybe because they were the low-cost providers in the area, the EBITA margin was a negative 20% or worse. High staffing costs combined with low Medicaid... Read More »
