When it works, it works
Success really can breed success. At least, that is the case for a skilled nursing facility in Lubbock, Texas that has already expanded once, and will soon grow again. Built in 2011 with 78 beds, all in private rooms, this skilled nursing facility added another 30 private beds and expanded its therapy gym by 1,300 square feet in 2013, at a cost of $2.6 million. Now, with occupancy averaging 89% from January 2015 to mid-year 2016, the local family owner/operator has decided to invest again in improvements and an expansion. They turned to Kevin Giusti and Michael Vaughn of Walker & Dunlop to arrange a $15.5 million refinance, which will provide the cash necessary to continue to grow... Read More »
Canterbury Tales
Ziegler is helping a not-for-profit CCRC that has been operating for about 25 years in Waterford, Michigan (about 40 miles from Detroit) both refund existing debt and fund an extensive repositioning project. Already with 255 rental units, including 75 independent living units, 40 assisted living units and 140 skilled nursing beds, the community is owned by Canterbury Heath Care, Inc. and operated by LCS, which has been managing it since 1995. Times have changed though, and ownership is partnering with Greenbrier Development to build a new 32-bed memory care building (connected by a to-be-built two-story structure) and renovate the existing skilled nursing building to convert 24...

Construction of seniors housing communities seems to be speeding up in Minnesota, with a slew of groundbreakings announced in the last month. Two developments in the Minneapolis/St. Paul MSA will be managed by Ebenezer Management Services upon completion. The first, a 105-unit community with 80 independent/assisted living and 25 memory care units, is being developed by Oppidan Investment Company. The second is an 84-unit community (with 60 IL/AL and 24 MC units) which is being built at a cost of $16 million, or $190,500 per unit. That is about $27,000 less than the state average for seniors housing ($217,200 per unit), according to our database, which includes developments since late 2013.... Read More »
Build with HUD
The owner of a skilled nursing facility in Gibonsburg, Ohio is planning an addition to its 99-bed property, but also wanted to refinance its existing debt. So, they went to Cambridge Realty Capital Companies, which provided a $5.266 million HUD loan. That financing included both a six-month construction loan and a 34-1/2-year fully-amortizing permanent loan, with a blended interest rate. Read More »WMD’s in Williamsburg!
What would you pay for an empty assisted living/memory care community? What about a nearly-finished 48-unit memory care community in Williamsburg, Virginia whose previous owner filed for bankruptcy? Well, Jacksonville, Florida-based investment bank/brokerage firm WM Dougherty & Co. (WMD) purchased that unfinished site for $7.5 million, and has plans to invest another $2 million to finish the community. All in, the WMD will end up paying nearly $200,000 per unit for a brand-new, but empty, memory care community. That may seem high, given that according to the 2016 Senior Care Acquisition Report, assisted living/memory care communities sold on average for $207,400 per unit, compared with...
