The facility will be renamed Owen Valley Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center. Built in 2006, it has 113 beds, including a 31-bed memory care unit, sitting on 3.52 acres. Occupancy as of July 2022 was just below 70%. Kentucky-based Trilogy Healthcare Services was the seller.

Built in 1970 and renovated in 2008, the community comprises approximately 70 units of assisted living and memory care. The current owner bought the property from Wells Fargo Bank in January 2011 for around $70,000 per unit.

Active adult new construction activity continued apace this past week with multiple developers breaking ground on communities throughout the country. We are sure rising interest rates have stopped a number of projects, but many developers surely see plenty of opportunity in the emerging sector. As covered in our active adult webinar in June, one question that arose was whether it’s better to build or buy active adult communities right now. Back then, the answer was a resounding “Both.” However, in light of the high capital costs these days, purchasing a community at a 4% cap rate when the 10-Year Treasury Yield is approaching 4% may not make as much sense right now. In Northampton,... Read More »Marcus & Millichap San Francisco Sale
