Bender Companies Invests in Active Adult
Chicago-based investment firm Bender Companies has spent $20.5 million, or $118,500 per unit, in Burbank Manor, a 173-unit active adult complex in Burbank, Illinois. Built in 1985, the apartments sit on 6 acres in the suburbs of Chicago. The property is well maintained and offers its residents a variety of amenities including secured outside entries, balconies, in-unit washers and dryers, and on-site parking with 300 tenant spaces. The buyer is a company that shares a Chicago address with Bender. Burbank Manor previously sold in 2021 for $14.6 million, or $84,400 per unit. That means the seller, Advantage Management, sold the complex for 40% more than their original purchase price. Given... Read More »Brookdale Continues To Grow Census
Brookdale Senior Living continues to see census growth, posting its best second quarter sequential weighted average occupancy growth in more than 10 years. And remember, the second quarter has not been the industry’s friend for the past decade or so, so this is a great set up for the rest of the year. Weighted average occupancy in June was 75.2%, up 60 basis points from May and up 400 basis points from June in 2021. Before we pop the corks, occupancy in the mid 70 percent range is still quite low, and a far cry from Brookdale’s 84.5% in the fourth quarter of 2019, or 89.0% in the fourth quarter of 2013. But it is a step in the right direction. It is just that we need to see a lot of these... Read More »60 Seconds with Swett: Healthcare M&A Activity Drops
The second quarter saw senior care M&A sustain its very high level, but deal activity across the other 12 healthcare sectors that we track on our LevinPro HC platform experienced a 9% drop in dealmaking from 622 publicly announced deals in the first quarter of 2022 to 568 in Q2. Compared to Q4:21, the quarterly deal total has also dropped by over 10%. We cover a number of healthcare sectors from hospitals and home health to eHealth and Biotech, and the most popular sector of late (by far) has been Physician Medical Groups. Last quarter, we recorded 142 PMG deals, 54% of which were made by a private equity buyer. Compare that to 5% of the 135 long-term care deals announced in the second...

Health Dimensions Group, a Minnesota-based regional owner/operator, divested two older skilled nursing facilities in its home state. One facility is located in the Minneapolis market, while the second is about 2.5 hours north of the city. Totaling 234 beds, both facilities were originally built in the 1960s but were recently refurbished by HDG. Occupancy was very strong at 90%, and the quality mix topped 40%, but expenses ran high across the facilities. Plus, performance dropped off slightly during the transaction process. Nevertheless, Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors’ Amy Sitzman and Giancarlo Riso approached four groups and received three strong written offers. Mordy...

An elongated CHOW approval process did not stop the team of Jeff Binder, Jason Punzel and Jake Anderson of Senior Living Investment Brokerage from closing the sale of an 84-unit independent/assisted living community in the Minneapolis metro area. Built in 1988 in the town of Anoka, Minnesota, the community features 84 units and 104 beds. It was owned by a real estate development company that mainly focuses on the multifamily market and chose to divest in order to concentrate on its core assets. Occupancy was 79%, and a new owner could refurbish the building. That buyer ended up being a large not-for-profit organization based in Minnesota that does plan to refresh and rebrand the...

A public REIT and its operating partner chose to sell a portfolio of six senior care locations in western Pennsylvania, and hired Michael Segal, Connor Doherty and Ryan Kelly of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors to do so. Totaling 425 skilled nursing and 29 personal care beds, the facilities averaged a four-star rating from CMS, including three five-star rated locations. Still, it was marketed as a value-add opportunity for an incoming buyer to capitalize on the potential rate growth in the various submarkets with limited competition, plus as occupancy and cash flow rebound from the pandemic. An owner/operator looking to enter the region ended up as the buyer, paying an undisclosed... Read More »Hudson Hills Senior Living Has New Owner
