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.

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%).
