Two Class-A AL/MC Communities Change Hands

Two Class-A AL/MC Communities Change Hands

Blueprint was brought on to facilitate the sale of two Class-A assisted living/memory care communities in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, MSA. The seller was a national developer/investor divesting to de-lever and accelerate the wind-down of the maturing fund holding the communities.  One of the communities opened in 2016 and is relatively smaller compared to the other, which opened in 2020. The older community had never fully stabilized, however, it maintained a modest in-place cash flow and showed positive momentum. Meanwhile, the newer community had never recovered from its COVID-driven lease-up challenges but, even at lower occupancies, showed margin potential. They are located... Read More »
Montgomery Selling in Memphis

Montgomery Selling in Memphis

On the eve of the NIC Conference in Chicago, Andrew Montgomery of Montgomery Intermediary Group facilitated the sale of an assisted living community in Memphis, Tennessee. Built in 1997 with 85 units, the community was bought out of bankruptcy in 2010 by the current owner/seller. It was operational as an assisted living community until October 2022, when ownership decided to shut it down after some tenant difficulties. The property sold vacant, and we would guess given the vintage and the lack of census, the per-unit price could not have surpassed $50,000 per unit. A private investor bought the asset, utilizing an existing lending relationship to obtain bridge debt for the deal. The buyer... Read More »

It is safe to say, the party is over, but M&A volume has not fallen off a cliff either. Neither have values. So, how are dealmakers evaluating this new market we are in, and how will investment strategies, the lending environment or valuations change? Join us... Read More »
