Northbridge Companies and Taurus Investment Holdings recapitalized their portfolio of six Class-A seniors housing communities in the Boston suburbs for $227 million, or $447,700 per unit.

Welltower (NYSE: WELL) was the seller at the time, having been represented by the team at Newmark, which also helped facilitate debt for Northbridge. That same Newmark team represented Northbridge and Taurus in the 2025 recap. Featuring 507 units of independent living, assisted living and memory care, the portfolio... Read More »

Former Petersen Property Finds New Owner
A former Petersen Healthcare seniors housing community sold in Girard, Illinois, thanks to Ryan Saul of Senior Living Investment Brokerage. Built in 2002 and featuring 48 units of independent living and assisted living, the community was 72% occupied but losing more than $100,000 a year on $1.2 million of revenues. The lender had taken control of the property in late 2024 and hired Gardant to manage the community until a sale occurred. Gardant was able to bring occupancy up to 83% and financial performance to breakeven at the time of the sale. A private owner with other multifamily real estate holdings in the area that was looking to get into seniors housing was the buyer, paying... Read More »
Cash-Flowing AL Community Trades Hands in Wisconsin
Connor Doherty and Ryan Kelly of Blueprint advised on the sale of a 92-unit assisted living community located just outside of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The community’s positive cash flow, well maintained physical plant and established referral base, plus some operational upside, made it an attractive prospect for investors. We believe the asset was Clifden Court, which was acquired in 2017 by the private equity firm SHA Capital Partners for $9.12 million, or $99,100 per unit, according to LevinPro LTC’s M&A database. Built in 1998, with additions in 1999 and 2010, the community also received a $1 million renovation from SHA shortly after the acquisition. It also stabilized operations... Read More »
Investor Grows Through Seven-Property Portfolio Purchase
A large portfolio of senior care facilities traded in Ohio and Kentucky, commanding a strong price, we believe, in the process. Connor Doherty and Ryan Kelly of Blueprint advised on the sale of the 983-bed, seven-property portfolio, which features mostly skilled nursing beds and some assisted living units. At the time of sale, the portfolio was generating strong cash flow and benefitting from recent Medicaid rate increases and private room incentive payments, boosting both current income and long-term value. According to those familiar with the listing, the operating margin may have also topped 12% or 13% and must have generated significant cash flow. The assets are within a 90 minute...

On the heels of Welltower’s blockbuster second quarter earnings report, Ventas turned in another solid performance as well. Same-community, SHOP occupancy jumped by 240 basis points year over year to 87.6%, NOI margin increased by 130 basis points to 28.4%, cash NOI increased 13.3% and RevPOR was up by 5.3%. The U.S. portfolio had a 290-basis point census increase, led by secondary markets that jumped by 360 basis points year over year. The Canadian portfolio, which was already over 95% occupied, held back the total increase but jumped by 80 basis points. How much higher can it really go? Ventas has made $1.1 billion in new seniors housing investments year to date, and that led management... Read More »
