CBRE Refinances Brookdale Portfolio
Five communities owned and operated by Brookdale Senior Living for over 10 years received a $160.3 million credit facility through Fannie Mae. Aron Will, Austin Sacco and Matthew Kuronen of CBRE arranged the debt, which is a blend of fixed-rate (about 75% of the principal) and floating-rate (the remaining 25%) with a 10-year term and five years of interest only. The loan comes in at 60% leverage and provides for asset substitutions, borrow-ups and partial releases. With the facility secured, the communities were able to refinance debt set to mature in the near-term. Totaling 945 units, 783 for independent living and 162 for assisted living, they are located in Alabama, Michigan,... Read More »
Healthcare Trust Buys in San Diego
It’s been a while since we’ve seen Healthcare Trust Inc. as a buyer in the seniors housing market. Well, the public, non-traded REIT has acquired a 91-unit/117-bed senior living community in San Diego, California, for an undisclosed price. There are 53 assisted living and 38 memory care units (64 beds) in the two-story building, which was built in 2015 on a 4.3-acre site. The quality of the building is apparently quite high, and the community was over 90% occupied. Rick Swartz, Jay Wagner, Aaron Rosenzweig, Dan Baker, Tim Hosmer and Bailey Nygard made up the Cushman & Wakefield team that served as exclusive advisor to the seller, Torrey Pines Development Group.

Cascade Capital Group Adds to Illinois Portfolio
Three acquisitions in the last month counts as a spree, right? Well, Cascade Capital Group is in the middle of one, having announced its acquisition of two Chicagoland skilled nursing facilities through its affiliate Legacy Healthcare. The deal included a 214-bed SNF in Streamwood and a 215-bed facility in Wheeling. Both fall under the Bella Terra brand, which has one other location in the Chicago area (Morton Grove) along with Montana and Utah. Last month, Cascade also added a 156-bed SNF in Aurora, Illinois, and a portfolio of four skilled nursing facilities in Florida, which sold for $49 million, or $106,500 per bed, at a 13.3% cap rate. Legacy took over management of the Aurora... Read More »Two Senior Care Centers Facilities Sell in Texas
Two Texas skilled nursing facilities formerly operated by the now-bankrupt Senior Care Centers (SCC) found a new owner with the help of Matthew Alley of Senior Living Investment Brokerage. Both built in 2008, these two SNFs each have 128 licensed beds, 51,000 square feet, and are located in growing central Texas submarkets. They were the only two SCC-operated facilities owned by a local real estate owner. One facility, in New Braunfels, was 75% occupied, while the Round Rock SNF was just 64% occupied. Not surprisingly, the operating margin was far below SNF standards, at 3.5%. Overleverage and expensive leases contributed to Senior Care Centers’ bankruptcy filing in December 2018... Read More »
