Publicly Traded REIT Acquires in Austin

Bridgewood’s wholly owned management company, The Aspenwood Company, will continue managing the property for its new owner, a publicly traded REIT.

Long-Term Owner/Operator Divests in Rural Utah
Evans Senior Investments facilitated the sale of Heirloom Inn, a 67-unit assisted living community in Price, Utah. The seller, which developed the community over 20 years ago, was independent owner/operator Shauna O’Brien. At the time of sale, the property was performing well albeit with opportunities for expense management and revenue growth. There was strong interest from buyers due to the limited supply of assisted living communities in the surrounding market, with a regional operator that offers scale being a good fit for the asset. The three-week competitive marketing process resulted in ESI ultimately identifying a buyer aligned with the seller’s long-term objectives. The transaction... Read More »

Kiser’s Myers Announces Closings
Mark Myers has had an active year since leaving Walker & Dunlop in January 2025 to go to SVN before exiting that shop in May to co-create a seniors housing brokerage platform with Kiser Group. But a few deals that he worked on with his previous teams have also recently closed. The largest was the sale of Sarah Neuman, a 301-bed skilled nursing facility in Mamaroneck, New York, that was owned by The New Jewish Home (NJH). Despite negative EBITDA, the high-end, well-located facility sold for $76 million, or $252,500 per bed. The private buyer has significant SNF holdings across the country and showed considerable patience as it took over three years for the state to issue the... Read More »
Blueprint Handles Five-SNF Portfolio Deal
Giancarlo Riso and Amy Sitzman of Blueprint advised a client on a sale and HUD 232 process of five skilled nursing facilities located in central and west Texas. The facilities totaled 424 beds and featured positive cash flow. They had attractive, fixed-rate HUD debt of 2.8% and long remaining terms with maturity dates starting in 2035 through 2044, presenting an incoming investor with significant cash-on-cash returns, especially if they invested in a targeted capex program to raise the facilities’ competitive profiles. Further upside potential existed by improving the CMS star rating at each facility, and establishing additional referral relationships with nearby acute care hospitals.... Read More »
SLIB Sells Two Pennsylvania CCRCs
Two faith-based, not-for-profit CCRCs in central Pennsylvania were acquired by a private East Coast-based investor. Located an hour’s drive from each other, Church of God Home has 50 independent living units and 109 skilled nursing beds in Carlisle, while Towne Centre in Myerstown has 152 skilled nursing beds, plus some “borrowed” IL units from the Carlisle location that gives it a CCRC designation. They were built in 1948 and 1972, respectively, and operated at a profit. But this was not a “cap rate deal,” as the Towne Centre location struggled more with occupancy, and the price was not disclosed. The selling organization is based in south central Pennsylvania, which appears to be... Read More »
