Capitol Seniors Housing Announces Two More Senior Living Projects
Capitol Seniors Housing’s development pipeline is growing fast, as luxury senior living communities continue to go up and down the Acela Corridor, and Chicagoland too. The firm has announced its two latest projects in Andover, Massachusetts and Glenview, Illinois, both scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2018. The Andover community will feature 96 units, at a cost of $36.5 million, or $380,200 per unit. The Northbridge Companies will take over management. And in Glenview, CSH is building an 83-unit assisted living community for $28.4 million, or $342,200 per unit, which will be managed by Atria Senior Living. The community will complement CSH’s 95-unit community in nearby... Read More »
The Skilled Nursing Investors Speak
On October 12, we hosted a webinar called “Investing in Skilled Nursing Facilities,” where our editor, Steve Monroe, and a panel of experts, including Joseph Deans of Diversicare Healthcare Services, Steve LaForte of Cascadia Healthcare and Talya Nevo-Hacohen of Sabra Health Care REIT, discussed the skilled nursing M&A environment today. That spanned from who is buying SNFs and why, the discrepancy between record-high values and current industry headwinds, and whether SNFs will win the battle against LTACs and IRFs for the post-acute patient, among several other topics. But we also brought in the audience to get their opinion on a few issues too, and here are the results: Do... Read More »
Greystone Refinances Queens Facilities
Greystone seems to have specialized in Queens financings, as the firm went back to the New York borough to close two more HUD loans for a couple of large skilled nursing facilities. This summer, Fred Levine, working out of the firm’s Monsey, New York office, arranged a $60 million HUD refinance for a 302-bed SNF and a $29 million HUD loan to refinance a 227-bed facility. He didn’t stop there, however, and originated nearly $55 million in HUD financing for two other SNFs. First, Mr. Levine originated a $21.92 million loan for a 298-bed facility that offers short-term rehab, long-term care, bariatric weight loss services (a specialized 90-day in-patient program with both counseling and...

Love Funding Lends a Hand
Love Funding and a family-owned care provider continued their successful partnership together, with Love helping the business refinance their assisted living community in Toms River, New Jersey. With 35 years of experience developing and operating senior care communities in New Jersey, the family has worked with Love for some 15 years. It opened its 79-unit Toms River community in 2002 and first refinanced it through HUD in 2006. Now, the community has refinanced again, with Love’s Laura Saull-Smith originating an $8.05 million loan that features a 35-year term and lower interest rate.

In more normal times, whatever that may be, the third quarter is supposed to be a good one for occupancy increases, perhaps the best quarter of the year. Not so in the past three years, however. NIC MAP has reported yet another slow month for seniors housing occupancy, which does not bode well for the rest of the year or for early 2018. The modest (10 basis points) increase in assisted living occupancy, combined with the modest decrease (-10 basis points) for independent living, does not bode well for the fourth quarter, when recent weather-related events will surely have a negative impact. Following that will be the first quarter flu season problems, which in 2017 lasted well into the... Read More »Room To Expand In Port St. Lucie
Senior Living Investment Brokerage’s Brad Clousing successfully sold a 36-unit assisted living community in Port St. Lucie, Florida, that has plenty of room for expansion. Seizing that opportunity was a South Florida-based owner/operator, which acquired the community for $3.18 million, or $88,300 per unit, with an 8.0% cap rate. The seller was a developer who was looking to exit operations after relocating to Minnesota. That said, they left the 17-year old community in fine shape, with 97% occupancy and a 23.5% operating margin on about $1.075 million of revenues, which could still be improved. There is the opportunity to expand with an additional 24 units (36 beds) of memory care, as well... Read More »
Capital One In Oak Brook
A skilled nursing facility in Oak Brook, Illinois (Chicago MSA) that has undergone several changes in recent years refinanced its debt with Capital One. Built in stages from 1971 to 1989, with a therapy gym constructed in 2007, the facility is currently owned by a private owner/operator with other properties in the state. A number of semi-private units were recently converted to privates in order to attract Medicare and private pay patients, and as a result, the facility currently operates at 114 beds, despite being licensed for 156 beds. To refinance its debt, as well as fund project-related costs, capital expenditures and working capital related to lease-up and stabilization, the owner... Read More »
