Blueprint Sells Another Former-Mainstreet Facility
Last month, Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors handled the sale of a vacant skilled nursing facility that was developed by Mainstreet but never opened. We know there were a number of those kinds of facilities, with all the bells and whistles but never an open sign, and sure enough, the Blueprint team closed another sale of one. The 94-unit facility was built in 2017 in Phoenix and featured both skilled nursing (transitional care) and assisted living units. But its lender foreclosed on the property. There is certainly potential in the new building with plenty of common space and located just down the street from Banner Estrella Medical Center, plus two other major hospitals within... Read More »
Brookdale Continues To Make Progress
The one thing that has been beneficial about COVID is the enhanced reporting by the public companies. By the time they release quarterly earnings results, they have already been issuing monthly updates, mostly on occupancy, so there is rarely much of a surprise. Such was the case with Brookdale Senior Living. On the occupancy front, average occupancy in the second quarter was 90 basis points higher than in the first quarter. While we would have liked to see a better gain, census was still declining in the first quarter and didn’t really flatten out until March/April on a weighted average basis. More impressively, month-end census has increased for five consecutive months starting in March.... Read More »

BMO Harris Bank’s Healthcare Real Estate Finance business announced that it secured a $72.4 million construction loan for a senior living community in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Bloom Senior Living Blossoms Again
Last week we disclosed that Bloom Senior Living and its affiliate Kandu Capital hit a home run with its sale of a 94-unit assisted living and memory care community in St. Petersburg, Florida. They purchased it for $5.5 million in 2017 and just sold it for $12.5 million. Not too shabby. Well, it looks like they did it again, this time selling a 91-unit assisted living community in Lakewood, Ohio for $11.8 million, or nearly $130,000 per unit. While that price per unit will not be breaking any records, Bloom had purchased the community in 2010 for just $3.1 million out of the Sunwest Management bankruptcy. Do the math, and that is a 380% return... Read More »
