Blueprint Facilitates SNF Divestment in Michigan
Mike Segal and Dan Mahoney of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors helped a Detroit-area owner/operator of skilled nursing facilities divest a geographical outlier in Battle Creek, Michigan. Built in 1967 and renovated in 1985, the 82-bed facility was owned and operated by Advantage Living Center. It was underperforming, leading the owner to bring in the Blueprint team to market and sell the asset. The buyer ended up being a New York-based equity group interested in expanding its Midwest presence into Michigan with a new operating partner. There were some physical plant issues that required additional inspections and some delays with the CON approval. But even with bringing on a new... Read More »

Removing Financial Barriers to Boost Occupancy
Coming out of the pandemic-induced senior living financial fiasco, top on almost every provider’s mind is how to increase their census as soon as possible, and then how to do it without sacrificing operating margins. Help is on the way. For most seniors and their families, making the move into senior living is a big decision, both emotionally as well as financially. Both can be significant hurdles, but the financial side is now going to be easier to deal with, especially if you don’t want to be rushed into selling your home or selling assets to come up with cash for a large entrance-fee payment for CCRCs, or your first several months of rent. Readers may remember 20 years ago... Read More »
Blueprint Facilitates Sale of AL Community in South Carolina
Brooks Blackmon, Amy Sitzman and Giancarlo Riso of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors recently facilitated the sale of a 72-unit assisted living community in Columbia, South Carolina. Built in the late-1990s, the all-private pay community recently underwent a $1.25 million renovation. It features all private units and mid-market rates. The marketing process focused on regional owners and operators, and Blueprint ultimately advised the seller to move forward with a buyer that all parties had previously transacted with. Given the level of familiarity between the buyer and seller, as well as the all-cash offer, the transaction closed within 90 days of going under LOI. The buyer will... Read More »

Evergreen Real Estate Completes Affordable Housing Project
Ravenswood Senior Living, a 193-unit affordable seniors housing development in Chicago’s Ravenswood neighborhood, was recently completed by Evergreen Real Estate Group (Evergreen), Synergy Construction Group (Synergy) and the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA). The original 10-story structure, formerly Ravenswood Hospital, was erected in 1974 and emptied in 2002. The $81 million redevelopment/renovation project took a year and a half to complete. The property now has 74 one-bedroom independent living apartments for Chicago Housing Authority residents and 119 units for participants in the Illinois Supportive Living Program, which is run by the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family...

Blueprint Sells Middle Market Community in Washington State
Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors’ Dan Mahoney and Ben Firestone sold a well-maintained, 108-unit senior living community in a growing tertiary market in Washington State. The community provides independent living and assisted living services to middle-income seniors and was historically a good performer. But occupancy dipped to 75% during the pandemic. We’ve certainly seen worse declines, but that leaves a good amount of room for improvement for the new owner, a regional buyer looking to grow its footprint in the state. The buyer also has plans to complete a modest unit renovation, update the common areas and increase the community private pay census. Blueprint... Read More »
Knapp-Stahler Group Closes Arizona Deal
Nick Stahler and Hap Knowles of The Knapp-Stahler Group at Marcus & Millichap sold a memory care community in an attractive submarket of Scottsdale, Arizona at the end of June. The deal is the first of the newly formed partnership between Mr. Stahler’s and Jim Knapp’s respective broker teams to create a truly national brokerage service. Mr. Stahler brings a focus on the West Coast, while Michigan-based Mr. Knapp will concentrate on East Coast deals, but we imagine the two teams will help each other out whenever needed too. Back to the Scottsdale deal, a 1031 exchange buyer paid $5.1 million, or $127,500 per unit for the property, which was struggling at the time of the sale. Built in... Read More »Schedule a demo
