Lancaster Pollard Refinances Oregon Memory Care Community
Giza Development successfully refinanced its new 45-unit/bed memory care community in McMinnville, Oregon (45 miles south of Portland), with the help of Ross Holland of Lancaster Pollard. Managed by Senior Development Resources, the community is located across the street from McMinnville’s full-service hospital and between two medical office parks. Sounds pretty ideal. It was initially refinanced with a bridge loan provided by OREC Structured Finance Co., which allowed Giza to buy out investors in the property and refinance construction debt. It was also immediately eligible for a permanent refinance. So, Lancaster Pollard secured a $4.9 million loan though HUD with a favorable, long-term... Read More »

Blueprint Handles Large Louisiana Portfolio Deal
So, it begins. Brooks Blackmon and Steve Thomes of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors announced the firm’s first 2020 closing, selling a portfolio of five seniors housing communities in Louisiana. Representing the Georgia-based owner/operator who had originally developed the communities, the pair found a buyer in a joint venture between Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV and Georgia-based Senior Solutions Management Group (SSMG). Built in the late-1990s, the communities boasted a good reputation in their local markets and historically stable operations. However, the previous owner was looking to refocus on development in their home state, so a sale was pursued. SSMG entered the... Read More »

Jump Starting Your Occupancy
As occupancy rates begin to rise, make sure you have all the necessary tools to ensure your occupancy rises faster than the competition. Isn’t it about time to take a fresh look at how you are marketing your seniors housing community, and turn those leads to move-ins so you can finally get your occupancy above 90%, and maybe even 100% with a wait list? A pipe dream, you might say. But without the proper tools, it will be a pipe dream. And without knowing what new techniques are available, especially in this increasingly digital age, you will never reach that goal of a wait list. According to NIC MAP, occupancy may have bottomed out last quarter. That’s great news, but you also don’t want... Read More »
Evans Senior Investments Sells in…Sellersville

Senior Care Realty Handles Wisconsin Transaction
Mark Van Den Broeke of Senior Care Realty certainly had his hands full in the sale of a 66-unit assisted living community in northeast Wisconsin. That’s because in addition to working with the current tenant, he worked with the two individual landlords of the property too. Originally built in 2012, the property is made up of three 22-unit buildings, two of which were owned by one landlord, with the other building owned by the second landlord. Occupancy was 79%, with a 100% Medicaid census, and in 2018 it was earning about $500,000 in NOI on nearly $2.5 million of revenues. The tenant, who owned the operations, was looking to exit the business when the lease ended in a few years, but she... Read More »
