Private REIT Finds New Operator For Colorado Communities
Fresh off of arranging a partnership buyout for an assisted living campus in Illinois, Bill Janis and Mario Wilson of Helios Healthcare Advisors found a new operator for two assisted living communities in Colorado. Both built in the late-1990s, these communities were owned by a private REIT based and incorporated in the U.S. but controlled by a Hong Kong private investment management firm. Around 25% of their census was made up of Medicaid residents, and their operating performance could be improved. Part of the reason for that was the assets were far from the prior operator’s Santa Barbara, California headquarters. There is also the opportunity to reposition them to better compete in...

Infinity Health Care Management Acquiring Quad Cities-Area SNF
Ray Giannini of Marcus & Millichap is close to closing the sale of a large skilled nursing facility in the Quad Cities region of Illinois and Iowa, although the process has not been easy. Featuring 245 beds and around 140,000 square feet on a 12-acre campus, the facility is owned by Rock Island County. Built in 2007, it is actually the newest in the area, but heavy competition has kept census low (below 70%). Unfortunately, the facility has also operated at quite a significant loss for some time, too. But with such a relatively new physical plant, the opportunity is there for a new owner to turn operations around. In September 2019, the facility was originally listed for $19... Read More »

Located outside of the Kansas City metro area, the facility was built in the 1960s but renovated around 2000.

In comes a local owner/operator, which secured $425,000 in senior debt in the... Read More »
