Evans Senior Investments Sells Upstate New York Community
Evans Senior Investments handled the sale of an assisted living/memory care community in Rome, New York, about 15 miles northwest of Utica. Built in 2009, the community is licensed for 48 AL and 12 MC beds, and also holds an Assisted Living Program (ALP) Medicaid license on 16 beds. Over the past 12 months, it has averaged 90% occupancy, with an 80% private pay census. Its operating margin has also been strong, at 29% on more than $2.6 million of revenues. But that could be improved by a new and potentially larger owner. The independent owner/operator worked with Evans to find a buyer, which ended up being a regional owner/operator looking to expand its presence in the state and... Read More »
People’s United Bank Funds Connecticut CCRC
Bridgeport, Connecticut-based People’s United Bank headed upstate to refinance a CCRC in Bloomfield, just north of Hartford. Duncaster, Inc. opened in 1984 as a not-for-profit CCRC that now includes 193 independent living units, 19 assisted living units, 24 memory care units and 60 skilled nursing beds. The pandemic led to a drop in occupancy (who didn’t experience that?) and slower IL unit sales. But the property did receive a healthy amount of stimulus funds to offset the drop in revenues, and recent IL unit sales reportedly have been strong. There was about $9.2 million of maturing bond debt held by Citizens Bank on the property, plus... Read More »

Buyers Paid Premium For Strong Operations in 2020
In 2020, there was yet again a perfect correlation between the average price per unit paid for seniors housing communities and their operating margins. Throughout 2020, as occupancy and cash flow at senior care facilities dropped and costs of financing rose, we wondered exactly how the pandemic would affect the pricing of these assets. Would it have a disparate effect on skilled nursing versus seniors housing properties, older properties versus new ones, or on stabilized facilities versus non stabilized. We are almost done compiling all these statistics in the 26th Edition of The Senior Care Acquisition Report, but we wanted to highlight a historical trend that continued even through... Read More »

Three years later, Cushman & Wakefield arranged a... Read More »

White Oak Healthcare REIT joint ventured with Discovery Senior Living to acquire the portfolio for $230 million, or roughly $128,000 per unit. However, Healthpeak didn’t exit entirely, providing the buyer with $150 million in financing to fund the deal.

LCS’ Westchester Development Hits 60% Presales
A massive independent living development in the works on the campus of Purchase College SUNY in Purchase, New York is already 60% presold. And the ground has yet to be broken. Set on a 40-acre neighborhood, the development is expected to cost around $320 million. That’s nearly $1.5 million per unit. This isn’t Manhattan real estate, but building on a college campus in Westchester County must come at a cost. It was originally conceived back in 2008, when the state legislature approved a plan for the college to lease some of its land for senior living purposes. The governor at the time, David Paterson, vetoed the bill, but current Governor Andrew Cuomo signed the bill into law in... Read More »
Greystone Refinances Indiana CCRC
A not-for-profit CCRC in Elkhart, Indiana received a HUD refinance courtesy of Greystone. Lisa Fischman originated the $23.9 million loan, which came with a 30-year term and amortization. Bringing on the refinance was a recent expansion of the 220-unit property that offers independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, short-term rehab services and, most recently, memory care services. The community was founded in 1977 and features amenities such as a wellness center, chapel, two restaurant-style dining venues and a two-acre landscaped park. The new memory care expansion comprises four houses, with nine units in each, all surrounding a central atrium. There was a previous... Read More »
Avanath Capital Management Moves Into Orange County
Avanath Capital Management, an investment firm that acquires, owns, renovates and operates affordable housing across the country, added another property to its portfolio in California, and its first in Orange County. Originally built in 1959 in the town of Garden Grove, the target features 85 units in four stories. It is located adjacent to the Garden Grove Hospital and Medical Center, and that probably helps the property’s popularity, as it has been consistently 100% occupied. The seller, Los Angeles-based Meta Housing, originally developed the building but has now sold it for $19.85 million, or $233,500 per unit. Read More »

Currently, there are a variety of supportive services including health and wellness programs, on-site meals, van transportation to doctor’s appointments, pharmacy visits, education programs and other activities.
