Details on Marx Development Group’s Nine-Figure SNF Deal

Details on Marx Development Group’s Nine-Figure SNF Deal

Marx Development Group and its affiliate Majestic Care’s acquisition of four skilled nursing facilities in West Virginia is set to close at the end of October, and the deal is still attracting a lot of attention in the state. That is because the seller is the State of West Virginia, and headlines are usually made when a for-profit buyer is taking over any state-owned or not-for-profit facility.  The scrutiny is often unfair, given the single-factor analysis most journalists perform on or parrot the results of private equity’s ownership of skilled nursing facilities. They almost always mislead the public on the impact of these acquisitions on the operations and financial health of the... Read More »

Former Brookdale Asset Sale Sets Record Per-Unit Price in Montana

Former Brookdale Asset Sale Sets Record Per-Unit Price in Montana

A standalone independent living community in Great Falls, Montana, just sold for one of the highest per-unit prices in the state. Developed in 1995, The Iris Senior Living was the highest-quality IL building in the area and was consistently fully occupied. It features 60 units and operates at a nearly 40% margin. Even though it is an older building, it is in good condition and commanded a $253,000 per unit price (or $15.2 million in total), at an 8.8% cap rate. The cap rate makes sense given the market and vintage of the asset, and the price is the highest on a per-unit basis in the LevinPro LTC deal database in the state of Montana.  Blake Bozett and Spud Batt of The Zett Group...

60 Seconds with Swett: Will Q4 Set Records?

60 Seconds with Swett: Will Q4 Set Records?

Happy fourth quarter everybody, and it should be a record-breaking one with all of the transaction pipelines we are aware of. Of course, deals have to close, and some will inevitably be kicked to Q1. But there is enough optimism among buyers, lenders, operators and certainly the brokers that dealmaking activity should hit new heights in the coming months.  We are already at a record-breaking M&A volume in 2025, with a sensational summer culminating in September hitting a 2025 monthly high with 70 deals announced, and counting. Only two other months have ever surpassed 70 deals, and they were in 2024. On an annualized basis, we would hit 840 deals at that level. And based on the... Read More »
