Minnesota SNF Finds New Owner
A skilled nursing facility near Minneapolis, Minnesota, found a new owner with the help of Bob Richards of Senior Care Realty. The facility, built in 1965 and featuring more than 75 beds, was operating around breakeven on approximately $6.5 million of revenues. It was occupied in the low-60s at the time of the deal, so there is certainly room for improvement for a new owner. The seller, a mom & pop, listed the facility at the end of 2023, which is when the facility came under LOI, before it finally sold this month. The offering price was $5 million, but we believe the facility sold for under that. The buyer was an owner/operator with other facilities in the state that used a... Read More »

Alternative Use Investor Acquires in Virginia
An alternative use investor bought a small memory care community in Williamsburg, Virginia. For some communities, the original layout is simply not conducive to strong operations, whether it be too many studio units, jack-and-jill bathrooms or an inefficient design. Originally built in 2017, this community features three separate cottages with 16 private units in each. That pod model created operational challenges due to staffing regulations from the state, and despite renovating each building in 2022 and 2023, the previous owner, after just three years of ownership, decided to sell. That seller, English Meadows, had acquired the community in 2021 for reportedly more than $5.5 million, or... Read More »
Public REIT Divests to National Owner/Operator
Blueprint was engaged by a public REIT in the sale of a 159-bed skilled nursing facility near downtown Huntsville, Alabama, less than two miles from two prominent hospitals. Recent physical plant upgrades have enhanced the facility’s amenities. The REIT is divesting due to the facility being the only remaining asset its tenant operated in the state. While the facility once boasted a healthy NOI with strong margin, it struggled to recover to historical levels. However, its strong past performance and the growth of the Huntsville MSA helped garner attention from national and local owner/operators, public REITs and private equity buyers across the country. Blueprint procured seven competitive... Read More »
