Newmark Sells Sarasota Senior Living Community
The Newmark Knight Frank team of Ryan Maconachy, Chad Lavender, David Fasano and Ross Sanders handled the sale of an assisted living community in southwest Florida. Featuring 108 assisted living and 39 memory care units, the community was built in 1994 in downtown Sarasota. More than 20 years ago, the property sold to Merrill Gardens for nearly $13 million, or $75,000 per unit. But back then, it featured 170 independent living and assisted living units. So, we assume a number of units have been combined to make larger ones, in addition to converting some to memory care. Although it is situated in the heart of Sarasota just blocks away from Sarasota Bay and two miles from St. Armands... Read More »
Ohio Owner/Operator Exits the Senior Care Industry
After more than 30 years in the business, a local owner/operator in Ohio exited the senior care industry with the help of Connor Doherty and Ryan Kelly of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors. Located in the northeast part of the state, the property features 152 total units, with 99 for skilled nursing and 53 for assisted living. It was built in 1976, with a major renovation in 2002. Operations had been declining during the due diligence period, with occupancy falling 15% from the time it was put under LOI. So, Blueprint worked with the incoming owner, a private equity owner/operator with extensive operating experience in the local market, to limit those declines. In the end, the... Read More »
Monticello Refinances New SNF in Virginia
Monticello Asset Management headed to Rural Retreat, Virginia in the southwest part of the state to arrange first lien debt financing for a 120-bed skilled nursing facility. Working on behalf of the experienced owner/operator, which currently operates 26 facilities in five states (including seven facilities and 915 total licensed beds in Virginia), Monticello and its affiliates provided a $13.5 million loan. It came with a five-year term. The facility was built in 2014, which is quite new for skilled nursing, especially in rural communities. Assuming a standard 70% loan-to-value, that means the per-bed value of the facility surpasses $110,000 per bed. Given its age, that makes... Read More »
ASHA and Stifel Nicolaus Meetings
What we heard about industry trends 3,000 miles from home. After spending three days at the American Seniors Housing Association meeting and the Stifel Nicolaus “2020 Seniors Housing & Healthcare Real Estate Conference, other than jet lag, there were a few takeaways. First off, on a few panels stand-alone memory care communities came up, and not in a good way. Because they tend to be small, a few resident deaths can have an outsized impact, the former over-development has still left a bad taste, and stand-alone anything is viewed by many as too risky. Speakers believed cap rates were at least 100 basis points higher than for assisted living. One thing we did hear is that... Read More »

They paid an undisclosed price and have renamed the building to Paul House and Healthcare Center. After the deal, Lutheran Life... Read More »
PM Advisors Refinances Oregon AL Community
KC Peterson of PM Advisors successfully closed a HUD refinance of a 30-unit/36-bed assisted living community in Sutherlin, Oregon. Built in 1996 and in good condition, the community was owned and operated by an established group in the state. They had originally financed the community with bonds that contained an affordability period for 20% of the resident population through 2032. Those units could be occupied by Medicaid residents as well as private pay residents who had spent down their wealth. In addition, ownership had two additional layers of IOI promissory notes on the property. However, the bonds came with a high interest rate of 7.375%, leaving the owners to look for a refinancing...

Blueprint Handles Large Alabama Deal
Brooks Blackmon of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors arranged the sale of a portfolio of seven skilled nursing facilities located in Alabama. The properties presented an opportunity for a buyer to expand an existing footprint in the state, as well as to improve the operations across the portfolio. Totaling more than 800 beds, the facilities averaged close to 50 years old. Two campuses were renovated in the late-1990s, and one more recently in 2018. They were cash flow neutral at the time of the sale. A long-term care operator in the state stepped in the buy them. Having closed plenty of deals in Alabama, Mr. Blackmon utilized his knowledge of the local market and of the state’s... Read More »Schedule a demo
