Marcus & Millichap Arranges Construction Financing in Iowa
A new seniors housing development is getting off the ground in Davenport, Iowa thanks in part to construction financing arranged by Marcus & Millichap Capital Corporation. Frank Montalto, vice president of capital markets in M&M’s Chicago office, and Dean Giannakopoulos, senior vice president of capital markets, secured the debt, which totaled $20.25 million. At 75% loan-to-value, that puts the cost of the development at $27 million, or $255,000 per unit. The loan comes with a five-year term and an attractive 3.75% interest rate. When completed, Meadowview of Davenport will include 106 units of independent living, assisted living and memory care. Read More »Webinar | Assisted Living: Was It Recession-Resistant After All? Where Are Values Now? | August 26, 2021
After census plunged 1,000 basis points across the country, has the assisted living recovery met expectations following the pandemic? Pent-up demand for this need-based product may have already exhausted itself, and rampant discounting would theoretically affect the cash flow recovery. Not only that, but the economic effects of the pandemic have hit communities differently, with “B” and “C” properties less financially flexible to meet rising wages, higher infection control costs and lower occupancy without a significant hit to their bottom lines. Investors have adapted to get deals done, propelling M&A activity to pre-pandemic heights this summer. But the properties they are targeting,... Read More »
Ziegler Closes Financing for Texas SNF
Ziegler recently closed a $13.6 million refinancing for Mountain View Health and Rehabilitation, a skilled nursing facility owned by Altitude Health Services. This 187-bed facility in El Paso, Texas was acquired by Altitude in 2016 using bank financing. Taking out that debt, Altitude locked in a low, fixed interest rate below 3% with non-recourse debt for 35 years thanks to the HUD refinance. Ziegler Managing Director Christopher Utz noted this new refinancing was difficult to close and had several moving parts. One complication was a large outbreak of Covid-19 in El Paso during summer 2020, and Mountain View Health and Rehabilitation was impacted as a result. As of June 2020, when... Read More »
‘Tis the Season for Takeovers
One group of investors essentially took control of Genesis HealthCare, another group is trying to do the same thing with Capital Senior Living, and a third group wants to buy Diversicare Healthcare Services, and just may get its way. All three are different, but only one involves giving existing investors a major premium, which is one big reason why it may go through. An entity called MCS Plan, along with its controlling owner Ephram Lahasky, has offered to buy Diversicare for $10.10 per share. The offer letter came from DAC Acquisition LLC, which is also managed by Mr. Lahasky. There are the obvious contingencies and due diligence that needs to be completed, but... Read More »
Knapp-Stahler Group Handles Two Deals
The Knapp-Stahler Seniors Housing Group of Marcus & Millichap announced a couple of seniors housing sales, led by Jim and Justin Knapp. Jim first sold a CCRC in Waterville, Maine for $10.2 million, or $69,400 per bed. Located on an entire city block, the campus includes a 111-bed skilled nursing facility plus 27 assisted living/memory care beds and nine independent living units. It was originally built in 1922 and renovated in 1970 and 1995. Five years ago, it was acquired by a regional not-for-profit. Occupancy has consistently been above 90% for all levels of care, and revenues were just below $13.8 million, so the unidentified new owner is coming into a strong operation. They used... Read More »
National Health Investors Divests Eight Holiday Properties
National Health Investors completed the sale of eight independent living communities operated by Holiday Retirement for $115 million, or $126,500 per unit. The REIT expects to realize a gain on the sale of up to $2 million, and there is one more property to sell of the original nine that NHI had slated for divestment earlier this month. Rental income for these eight properties, excluding the impact of any straight-line rents, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $4.2 million. The purchase price for that property should be close to $15 million. The institutional buyer of the portfolio was not named. There may be further action on NHI’s remaining 18 Holiday...

Driving through New England this past weekend, I was struck by the number of “help wanted” and “we’re hiring” signs across dozens of storefronts and billboards advertising job fairs for many types of businesses. All I kept thinking about was how senior care facilities were faring across the country with finding help. Not only that – qualified help. We know that senior care jobs paying somewhere just above minimum wage can be difficult, emotionally draining and receive little positive recognition from the public. So higher overall wages and hiring bonuses could easily sway a chunk of the labor force to other industries and away from senior care, which will need many... Read More »
