Monarch Advisors Finances Two Texas Transactions
Alec Blanc of Monarch Advisors helped finance a couple of Senior Living Investment Brokerage’s latest deals in Texas, which we highlighted last week. Cascades Healthcare, a Provo, Utah-based owner/operator, announced two separate acquisitions for four total skilled nursing facilities in Texas for a combined 26.545 million, or 41,400 per bed. Mr. Blanc secured a $21 million acquisition loan from a national commercial finance company to support the deal. There is also a $3.5 million earn-out feature that brings the loan-to-cost to around 92%. We’re not seeing leverage like that very often these days. The loan comes with a three-year term and interest only payments for the first two years.... Read More »
JLL Sells Oregon Assisted Living Community
Mike Garbers and Cody Tremper of JLL successfully sold an 85-unit assisted living community in Portland, Oregon. The seller and buyer were not disclosed, but the community has an almost entirely Medicaid census. It was built in 2005 with 81 private rooms and four semi-private rooms. Occupancy was in the high-90s in the fall of 2019, but has since dropped to about 88%. Many operators would love to have their communities that full. But, operations were close to breakeven, so there is some room for improvement, clearly. The property was subject to a ground lease controlled by a local family. Read More »

Harrison Street Announces the Largest Seniors Housing Deal Since 2019
In the June issue of The SeniorCare Investor, we wondered when private equity would get off the M&A sidelines in a major way, with so much dry powder available to them. On cue, Harrison Street Real Estate Capital announced the largest seniors housing and care deal in two years, spending approximately $1.2 billion on a portfolio of 24 assisted living/memory care communities in California and Nevada. The portfolio totals 2,195 units, resulting in a per-unit price of $546,700 per unit.

Senior Living Investment Brokerage Handles Three More Transactions
As of the writing of this, Senior Living Investment Brokerage has now closed 39 seniors housing and care transactions in 2021. Their total for the whole year of 2020: 39 deals. To hit that mark before the end of June is impressive, to say the least. Pushing them to that number were three transactions in the Southwest announced in quick succession. The first was an assisted living/memory care sale in Las Vegas, Nevada, handled by Vince Viverito, Jason Punzel and Brad Goodsell. Built in 2016 by a local developer (who is now the seller), the community has 119 beds in 98 units. A third-party operator managed the community, but the buyer, a national private equity fund, will bring in a... Read More »
