Capital Pointe Advisors Closes Pennsylvania Portfolio Sale
The small portfolio sales keep on coming, with buyers able to stand up to COVID-19 and not let it get in the way of growth. Nancy Herman of Capital Pointe Advisors acted as advisor to The Nugent Group in the sale of a five-facility portfolio in Pennsylvania. The portfolio consists of two skilled nursing facilities, two personal care homes and one new independent living and personal care home community. One of the skilled nursing facilities, with 105 beds, was built in 1962 and is located in Hermitage. The other nursing facility, located in Sharon, is smaller with 54 beds in 27 semi-private rooms. It is a restored 1958 mansion that was acquired by the seller... Read More »
Skilled Nursing Values Were Strong Before COVID-19
Leading up to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, skilled nursing facilities were going through their own challenges of falling census and shortening lengths of stay, low Medicaid reimbursement, aging physical plants, a labor squeeze and the possibility of a CMS correction after the implementation of PDPM. What some wouldn’t give to go back to those kinds of problems. However, values were near an all-time high, averaging $93,000 per bed in 2019 according to the 25th Edition of The Senior Care Acquisition Report, and falling slightly to an average of $92,800 per unit in the four quarters ended March 2020. That high average was the result of investors acquiring... Read More »

Evans Senior Investments Completes CareTrust’s Metron Michigan Exit
Evans Senior Investments has done it again, announcing the closing of a skilled nursing portfolio sale in the state of Michigan just a couple of days after another SNF sale in Rhode Island. The deal first rose to the surface in November 2019, when the seller, CareTrust REIT, announced the intended sale after the operator, Metron Integrated Health Systems, had stopped paying rent and decided to exit the buildings in the midst of Medicaid fraud allegations involving millions of dollars of improper payments. The news came as quite a shock to CareTrust at the time, and a sale was pursued. The portfolio was about 86% occupied across the 496 licensed beds at the time of marketing and was... Read More »
Harborview Capital Partners Announced Several Financings
Harborview Capital Partners announced a series of recent closings for several clients across the country. First, the firm worked with a national lending partner to arrange an $81 million loan to refinance a portfolio of four skilled nursing facilities and one assisted living community in Maryland. The loan featured aggressive LIBOR-based fixed interest rate and a four-year term with limited recourse. It resulted in a cash-out in excess of $20 million for the New Jersey-based owner. Ephraim Kutner, Jonathan Kutner and Eli Kutner originated the transaction. Then, Harborview arranged for the refinance of two senior care properties in Queens, New York. The 200-bed skilled nursing facility... Read More »

Deal Flow Stalls…For Now
Seniors housing and care acquisitions came to a standstill, waiting for any positive news. So, I can’t remember the last time we went a full week without one seniors housing and care acquisition announcement. Perhaps in the depths of The Great Recession, but that was more than 10 years ago. Last week, there was nada, zippo, and it seemed to carry over into the start of this week. If you were not approaching the finish line by the end of March, for most deals, they just never crossed. There are a lot of disappointed sellers and brokers, but we have to assume the deals have just been put on hold until some degree of normalcy returns. But it may be a new normal, and lenders and buyers may... Read More »
Evans Senior Investments Closes SNF Sale in Rhode Island
The recent senior care deal drought mercifully ended with a closing from Evans Senior Investments, which seems to have figured out how to get a deal across the finish line these days, closing four SNF transactions so far since the onset of the pandemic. The most recent target was a 57-bed skilled nursing facility in East Providence, Rhode Island. Originally built in 1962, it was acquired by the seller, an East Coast owner/operator, with the intent of moving the licensed beds to another county in the state. However, regulatory hurdles prevented that plan from going forward, so an exit was pursued. At the time of the sale, the facility was 89% occupied, with a 14% quality mix, but was... Read More »
Cushman & Wakefield Arranges Construction Financing
Seniors housing construction may be slowing to a crawl, as is the lending market, but Cushman & Wakefield has bucked the trend and arranged both construction financing and joint venture equity for a development in South Portland, Maine. The team of Richard Swartz, Jay Wagner, Tim Hosmer and Sam Dylag advised the developer, Confluent Senior Living, on the deal. The project will feature 123 units of assisted living and memory care, with an array of amenities, at a cost of $40 million, or $325,000 per unit. Its operator, Harbor Retirement Associates, broke ground on the community last month, and its location is ideal near both the largest mall in the state and Old Port... Read More »

The experienced borrower was able to replace conventional debt on the portfolio with a substantially higher interest rate. They came with 30- and 35-year terms.
