Class-A Community Trending Towards Stabilization Sells in Missouri

Class-A Community Trending Towards Stabilization Sells in Missouri

A Class-A assisted living/memory care community in O’Fallon, Missouri, sold thanks to Alex Florea, Kyle Hallion and Kevin Lukehart of Blueprint. Opened in 2018 with 134 units, The Landing of O’Fallon features two-bedroom, one-bedroom and studio options, with a number of units sharing Kory-and-Kyle bathroom configurations. It was purpose-built with a steel-frame construction, high-end finishes and resort-style amenities.  The community sits in the affluent St. Charles County submarket of St. Louis, which has very strong demographic trends, but there were multiple competitors that either opened communities or will open them soon. But at the time of launch, the community had solid... Read More »
Joint Venture Grows Its Seniors Presence in Oklahoma

Joint Venture Grows Its Seniors Presence in Oklahoma

Stacked Stone Ventures, a real estate investment firm founded by Kent Eikanas, announced a new acquisition, adding a 147-bed CCRC in Oklahoma to its growing portfolio. Stacked Stone made the purchase with joint venture partner Praxis Capital and started a new relationship with the incoming operator, Sage Integrated Health.  The campus operated around breakeven with occupancy in the mid-80s and a healthy Medicare census. It was previously owned by a not-for-profit organization, so we imagine there may be immediate upside from expense management. The joint venture bought the asset for $10.8 million, or $73,500 per bed. There are several other transactions in the works at Stacked Stone, so... Read More »

Large Kentucky SNF Portfolio Trades

Large Kentucky SNF Portfolio Trades

There is something going on in the Kentucky skilled nursing market, with a favorable rebasing change that was approved by the legislature in July 2024 leading to a significant increase in Medicaid funding, along with increased interest in owning and operating facilities in the Commonwealth. We imagine that facilities are realizing an immediate boost to their value as a result of the changes to the reimbursement environment, and Blueprint is likely securing great prices for its Kentucky clients. The firm has announced four closings totaling more than $200 million in September alone in the Commonwealth, probably helped by the fact that its own Kyle “Bluegrass” Hallion is from and lives in...
