Owner/Operator Assumes HUD Debt in Washington Acquisition
Blueprint was engaged by a local owner/developer in the divestment of its seniors housing community in the Seattle, Washington MSA. Built in 1997, Stafford Suites Kent features 63 assisted living units in the town of Kent. In the wake of operational challenges stemming from the pandemic, the third-party manager focused its recovery efforts on occupancy and rate growth. So, its improving resident rental rates, strong historical performance, and low-rate assumable HUD debt already in place made the asset an attractive buying opportunity. Michael Segal, Daniel Waldhorn and Dan Mahoney handled the transaction, targeting owners and investors with an existing footprint in Washington and the... Read More »

Cascade Capital Group Acquires 29 SNFs
Justin Knapp and Andrew Van Zee of the Knapp-Stahler Team of Marcus & Millichap closed the sale of a 29-property skilled nursing portfolio in Iowa on behalf of ABCM, which was exiting the senior care market. Comprising 2,346 total beds, it is the largest SNF portfolio to sell in the state, and by some margin. Also featuring 326 assisted living units, the portfolio featured mostly four- and five-star rated facilities, with just two exceptions. Favorable Medicaid rate increases also helped improve operations across the board, but the margin could also get better. Some agency staffing was in the process of phasing out, as well. So, how do you sell a SNF, let alone 29 of them, in the... Read More »

Focus and Arbor Expand Footprints
JLL Capital Markets announced its role in completing the sale and financing of Mariposa, a 313-unit seniors housing community in Lake Worth, Florida. We wrote on Wednesday that Focus Healthcare Partners acquired the campus and was bringing on Arbor Senior Living to operate it. Sitting on 22.5 acres, the community was built in 2018 with a three-story IL/AL building consisting of 259 units and an adjacent one-story memory care building featuring 54 units. It was more than 95% occupied, and has been at 90% and above since September 2020. That is fantastic, and credit to Discovery Senior Living, which was the previous operator. Arbor Senior Living will hopefully hit the ground running as the... Read More »

Struggling Community Sells in Georgia
Blueprint facilitated the sale of a seniors housing community in the Atlanta, Georgia MSA, on behalf of an institutional real estate and development firm. Built in 1996, the assisted living/memory care community comprises 61 units in Buford. It appears to be a former Brookdale Senior Living-operated community that was since managed by Charter Senior Living. Alex Florea and Kyle Hallion handled the transaction, which presented as a value-add opportunity in a desirable market. Initial occupancy was 73% and it was operating at a negative margin. It does not help that this area northeast of Atlanta was significantly overdeveloped in the mid-2010s, and that this asset, at nearly 30 years old,... Read More »Schedule a demo
