Ohio Obligated Group Secures Bond Financing
The Methodist Retirement Center of Central Ohio, a not-for-profit, faith-based corporation doing business as The Wesley Communities, recently refinanced its three senior living communities in the Columbus, Ohio area with a bond financing arranged by Ziegler. This was Ziegler’s first underwriting with The Wesley Communities. The portfolio comprises 668 units of independent living, assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing. However, the obligated group excluded the assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing units at one campus and the AL and MC units at another (260 units altogether) that were financed by HUD. So, the obligated group actually consists of 408 units... Read More »
Evans Senior Investments Heads Back To Green Springs
Less than a year after selling a small independent living community in Green Springs, Ohio, the team at Evans Senior Investments returned to the site to sell the remaining two facilities on the campus, including a facility with 31 skilled nursing beds and 20 assisted living units and a separate 120-bed skilled nursing facility. In May, Evans had represented the court-appointed receiver in the sale of a six-unit IL community, which was the first phase of its exit. Built in phases from 1963 to 2006, the campus had been owned and operated by a second-generation family member for over 30 years, until they decided to sell in 2016 in order to focus on their existing...

Carnegie Capital Closes Fairfield County Construction Loan
An assisted living/memory care community that broke ground in Fairfield County, Connecticut this Spring (quite a time for that) just received bank financing arranged by JD Stettin of Carnegie Capital. The five-year construction loan totaled $24.5 million, or nearly $190,000 per unit, and came with a low-4% interest rate. At 65% loan-to-value, that puts the construction cost at nearly $37.7 million, or about $290,000 per unit. For Fairfield County, that is about right. Mr. Stettin sourced and structured the loan with a national healthcare-focused bank and a participating regional bank. A major national healthcare developer was the borrower and built the community to include... Read More »
Well-Operated ALF Sells in Wisconsin
Ray Giannini and Anastasia Pilarski of Marcus & Millichap worked together to sell a 47-unit, private pay senior living community in Rice Lake, Wisconsin for $6.5 million, or $138,300 per unit. Owned by a local husband and wife (who also developed and operated it), the campus includes a 19-unit/20-bed Community Based Residential Facility (CBRF) that was built in 2012 to provide memory care services and a 28-unit Residential Care Apartment Complex (RCAC) built in 2004 for assisted living. Set on over 14 acres, there is also the opportunity for additional development. Occupancy had been in the 90s, and although the facility remained COVID-19 free, it experienced a... Read More »
Colliers International Ushers Allina Health Out of Seniors Housing Industry
Allina Health exited the seniors housing market with the sale of its 45-unit independent living community in Cambridge, Minnesota, working with Brian Bruggeman and Louis Suarez of Colliers International to get the deal done.

There is a dining room, full kitchen, laundry room, beauty salon, lounge with fireplace, a library and an outdoor, three-season porch.

LTC Properties Provides Rent Relief
How do you spell relief in the pandemic? Reducing the rent escalators that REITs charge their tenants. That is precisely what LTC Properties has decided to do in 2021, and we wonder if a few other REITs may follow suit. Several REITs already agreed to rent deferrals in 2020 as their tenants were struggling with census and operating costs. But those deferrals have to be paid back at some time, since they were simply “deferred.” But under LTC Properties’ plan, the 2021 rent escalator will be cut by 50% and presumably not have to be paid back. While it may be painful for LTC and its shareholders in the short-term, it was the right thing to do because many tenants... Read More »
Lument Secures HUD Refinance For Michigan Senior Care Campus

It is one of 11 facilities that Advantage Living Centers owns and operates in the state.

Blueprint’s Two Buckeye Sales
Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors handled a couple of senior care sales in the state of Ohio comprising a total of four properties. Connor Doherty, Michael Segal and Ryan Kelly handled the larger transaction, which featured three skilled nursing facilities located in Canton, Toledo and Rockford. That’s about 200 miles across the state. Originally built in the 1960s and 1970s with significant renovations and upgrades since 2015, the facilities comprise more than 300 beds. They were well maintained, and the consolidated performance was steadily improving along with its occupancy until COVID-19 hit. At the onset of the pandemic, the REIT owner and operating partner...
