CCRC Expands With Help From HJ Sims Financing
A not-for-profit CCRC in Sandy Spring, Maryland that has been in business since 1962 was looking to expand and obtained financing from HJ Sims to fund the project. On a 62-acre campus, the community (called Friends House) features 32 independent living units and 75 low-income rental apartments, 82 comprehensive care beds and 21 assisted living units. However, ownership saw the need to replace the low-income apartments with a new 80-unit low-income housing building in a joint venture with Homes For America (HFA). But that’s not where the future changes stop. The CCRC will also renovate and expand the existing communal building, remove two vacant cottage units, and develop 14 new cottage... Read More »
Atrium Health Suffers
The New Jersey-based skilled nursing and assisted living operator puts 33 of its properties into receivership. Not good for the lenders. I am sure you have heard by now about Atrium Health and Senior Living placing 33 of its properties into receivership this week. This includes all their Wisconsin properties and one Michigan facility, but appears to leave out its 12 buildings in New Jersey. Atrium operates both skilled nursing and assisted living, and only nine assisted living communities in Wisconsin were placed in receivership; the remainder were SNFs. The receiver has hired Health Dimensions Consulting to operate them during the receivership until it is decided whether to split them up... Read More »

A small memory care community in the Houston, Texas area sold to Capital Square 1031, a national real estate investment and management company based in Glen Allen, Virginia.

No purchase price was disclosed, but Bill Pyle of Edge Realty Capital Markets represented the seller, and Bear Real Estate Advisors represented the buyer in the transaction. Read More »
Friendly Sale Followed By HUD Financing
Cambridge Realty Capital Companies arranged $28.4 million in HUD financing for a portfolio of three skilled nursing facilities in Ohio, but the road to closing was more complicated than usual. Located in the towns of Niles and Milan, these facilities were put up for sale by their long-time real estate owner/operator. However, during the marketing period, operations declined, and the owner brought in a new operator under a long-term lease. It was the lessee’s goal to eventually own the facilities, and through its ongoing relationship with them, Cambridge helped arrange a friendly sale. Now, with two 35-year terms and one 33-year term, Cambridge structured a $6.08 million loan, a $6.4... Read More »

Strawberry Fields REIT Enters Arkansas Market
Strawberry Fields REIT entered the state of Arkansas in a big way, acquiring nine skilled nursing facilities in the state from one seller, plus one Kentucky facility from another. Totaling 1,004 beds, the facilities were owned by The Skyline Group, which acquired them from AdCare Health Systems, Inc. in October 2016 for $55 million, or 54,780 per bed, after leasing them for several months at a rate of $450,000 per month. The facilities are currently profitable, but report occupancy in the low-70s, with a 15-20% quality mix, and they are now being sold for $37.975 million, or $37,800 per bed. Strawberry Fields REIT will brand these facilities under the “Waters” brand and will add them to a... Read More »
Blueprint Handles Record Sale In Oregon
We just recorded the highest-priced single-asset seniors housing sale in the state of Oregon, in a transaction handled by Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors’ Dan Mahoney, Jacob Gehl and Blake Bozett. The target is located in Portland and was originally developed in 1992 by the current seller. Also renovated in 2000, the community features 286 units of independent living, assisted living and memory care. Integral Senior Living has managed it since 2011, and managed it well, apparently, as it was 94% occupied with a 100% private pay census. We have also estimated it operated at a roughly 45% margin on approximately $13 million of in-place revenues. Strategic Student & Senior... Read More »
CareTrust REIT Acquires Catholic Health Care Campus In California
CareTrust REIT bought a California senior care campus and brought on a new tenant in its latest transaction. Formerly owned by the Catholic not-for-profit Our Lady of Fatima, the Saratoga campus consists of 85 skilled nursing beds and 37 assisted living units, with both components well occupied. It sold for $19.0 million (which includes transaction costs), or $152,500 per bed/unit, with a roughly 12.8% cap rate. Under the management of CareTrust’s new lessee, Kalesta Healthcare, it is expected to bring in approximately $1.7 million in cash rent for each of the next two years, which thereafter escalates based on CPI. The lease term comes with an initial term of 15 years and two five-year... Read More »

Frontier Moving Forward With Financing From Columbia Pacific Advisors
Fresh off of Frontier Management’s ownership restructuring, it was business as usual for the firm, which obtained financing for its newly opened standalone memory care community in Tucson, Arizona. Columbia Pacific Advisors, though its bridge lending platform, CPIF Lending, provided the $6.225 million loan, with a 24-month interest only term and a 12-month extension, to refinance the original construction financing on the 48-unit community. The transaction allows Frontier to continue stabilizing the community and pursue its next development project. The loan, which Frontier expects to pay off within 18 months, was underwritten at a loan-to-value of 66%, but that goes down to 56% upon... Read More »Schedule a demo
