PE Firm Goes from Development to Acquisitions

PE Firm Goes from Development to Acquisitions

A private equity firm previously focused on development made the switch to M&A in acquiring a newer-vintage but value-add memory care community in an affluent suburb of Chicago, Illinois. The move makes sense, given the opportunities to acquire quality physical plants for below the cost to build, and usually far below that cost.  Built in 2015, Gurnee Place Memory Care features 42 units in the town of Gurnee. The community was 90% occupied and had positive cash flow, but a receiver engaged Blueprint to maximize proceeds for the bank and stakeholders involved. They received five offers from private equity groups, real estate investment firms and regional owner/operators before a... Read More »

60 Seconds with Steve Monroe: Where Do Valuations Stand in 2024?

It seems that despite the record levels of M&A activity we are witnessing in the seniors housing and care market, there are still scores of buyers and lenders still ready to pounce on the growth opportunity but have not done so yet.  They are just waiting for something, either an interest rate cut (or two), more competitive term sheets from capital providers, certain operating metrics in their respective markets, or just some reasonable assurance that the senior care industry and the capital markets will not implode in the near term. When these buyers return to the M&A market, they will need to know where pricing is for different kinds of deals, what lending options they may... Read More »
