Long Bankruptcy Process Ends with CCRC Sale in Tampa

Long Bankruptcy Process Ends with CCRC Sale in Tampa

A years-long bankruptcy process for a large CCRC in Tampa, Florida has finally concluded with a new not-for-profit owner stepping in, BRP Senior Housing Management (an affiliate of Big Rock Partners) now operating it and Ziegler closing a nearly $70 million bond financing to fund the deal. Unfortunately, the property has a long and complicated history under its previous ownership. Complicated, to say the least.  Originally built in 1985 with 445 independent living units, 72 assisted living units and 240 skilled nursing beds, University Village was acquired in 2000 by Westport Holdings Tampa, LP for $64.1 million, or around $85,000 per unit/bed.

Capital Senior Living Returns 18 Properties to Fannie Mae

Capital Senior Living Returns 18 Properties to Fannie Mae

It’s been quite a week of earnings announcements from the publicly traded senior care companies, with Healthpeak Properties, Welltower, CareTrust REIT, Sabra Health Care REIT, Omega Healthcare Investors, Five Star Senior Living, Diversified Healthcare Trust and The Ensign Group all reporting. Capital Senior Living Corporation also came out with its second quarter results, and surprised some by revealing it was turning 18 properties in forbearance with Fannie Mae back to the agency lender. We have never heard of a company basically handing the keys over to Fannie Mae for that many communities. It is safe to say we are in unchartered territory that does not fail to surprise us, to say the... Read More »
Blueprint Sells in Sacramento

Blueprint Sells in Sacramento

Humair Sabir and Jacob Gehl of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors worked on behalf of a private ownership group in its sale of a senior living community in Sacramento, California. Originally built in 1997, the community features a mix of 72 independent living, assisted living and memory care units in three integrated buildings. It also has the advantage of being in a desirable area of Sacramento.  The seller, Solstar Investments, bought the community from a local investor group in 2015 for $6.85 million, or $95,100 per unit, at a roughly 6.1% cap rate. At the time, occupancy had dropped to just 80% (not that bad these days), and the operating margin could have been improved... Read More »

HealthPeak, Welltower, Ventas and Others Report This Week

In the next 48 hours, six companies will report second quarter earnings. While it won’t be pretty, you have to think long term. Earnings season is here, and I am afraid it will not be very pretty. Unfortunately, it has not been pretty for a while, but we can always hope. Six companies will be reporting second quarter earnings over the next 48 hours. Everyone is trying to put as good a face on it as they can, especially since we all know that at some point in the future, it will get better. The questions are when, which sectors will start improving first, and how much better will it get? The thing I have a hard time reconciling is that there is still plenty of equity capital out...

Watercrest Opens Senior Living Community In South Carolina

Watercrest Opens Senior Living Community In South Carolina

Watercrest Senior Living Group is opening another seniors housing community in the Southeast just a couple of months after announcing the grand opening of its 107-unit community in Winter Park, Florida, and the groundbreaking of another 98-unit community in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. To open a new community these days must be a difficult task, let alone two, so we hope lease-up is going smooth and steady.  The most recent project is located in Lancaster, South Carolina, on the outskirts of Charlotte, NC. It features 107 units, split between 75 assisted living and 32 memory care, and most of the amenities you would find at a Watercrest community: pool, spa, multiple dining... Read More »
