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
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 »

SLIB Facilitates Sale of Two NY Seniors Housing Communities
Two assisted living communities in New York with licenses designed to provide higher level care in an AL setting, rather than in a skilled nursing facility, sold with the help of Dave Balow of Senior Living Investment Brokerage.

60 Seconds with Swett: Skilled Nursing M&A in 2023 and Beyond
Skilled nursing investors, operators and dealmakers have been on quite the rollercoaster the last several years, with COVID initially threatening the life of the industry quickly shifting to an exuberant M&A market that saw buyers clamor for facilities of all qualities, and paying up for them too. Now, higher capital costs have tempered some of that excitement, and the industry faces a new threat: the minimum staffing mandate. 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 »
