Senior Living Investment Brokerage Handles Michigan Sale

Senior Living Investment Brokerage Handles Michigan Sale

Hands-off management led to a decline in occupancy at a senior care campus in Bay City, Michigan, and an ensuing sale was handled by Bradley Clousing, Ryan Saul and Joe Young of Senior Living Investment Brokerage. The campus consists of a 151-bed skilled nursing facility that was built in 1955 and completely renovated in 2007, and a 38-unit assisted living community added in 2001.

Ventas Reports Third Quarter Results

Ventas Reports Third Quarter Results

Ventas reported its third quarter results, and despite average census dropping below 80% for the first time, it remained on firm financial footing thanks to both federal relief grants and earlier moves to bolster its liquidity.   In fact, Ventas improved its cash NOI from $402 million in the second quarter of 2020 to $545 million in the third quarter. Much of the gain came from its triple-net portfolio and mostly as a result of the agreement made with Brookdale Senior Living to reduce the provider’s annual cash rent to $100 million in return for consideration of approximately $235 million (including $162 million in cash) up-front. All of the $235 million in consideration is being amortized... Read More »
