Local Doctor Invests in Iowa Assisted Living
Not unlike the 2020 Democratic field, Nick Cacciabando and Jeff Binder of Senior Living Investment Brokerage descended on Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to close the sale of an assisted living community. Originally built in 1910 as a private residence, the community was renovated, expanded and converted to assisted living in 1995, and now features 42 units. Currently, it operates at a 9% margin on over $1.6 million of revenues, with an occupancy around 82%. Rents could be increased, but only by so much given the community’s relative age and middle-income market. The selling entity was a group of aging, local investors looking to realize their investment objectives. They sold the asset to a local... Read More »

Welltower Makes Major M&A Moves

The big news was the Benchmark sale, which consisted of all 48 assisted living properties and 4,137 total units located throughout New England, or 100% of the Welltower-owned portfolio. The transaction was structured as a... Read More »

CBRE Closes Two Bank Financings for Senior Living Clients
Aron Will of CBRE ended July with two bank financings for senior living clients in three states. First, in Texas, he was joined by Austin Sacco and Adam Mincberg to refinance two 76-unit assisted living/memory care communities in Boerne (San Antonio MSA) and Round Rock (Austin MSA). Both properties were developed by a joint venture between Harrison Street Real Estate Capital and Franklin Development Properties in 2017, and have been managed by Franklin Development’s operating affiliate. To refinance the original construction debt, CBRE secured a three-year, floating-rate loan with 24 months of interest only from a national bank.

Land and Buildings Strikes Again
Still trying to get two board nominees, Land and Buildings steps up its criticism and need for change. Well, well, well. Jonathan Litt of Land and Buildings is at it again, this time with a six-page letter to Brookdale Senior Living shareholders, eviscerating Brookdale’s management and board, past and present, for the company’s severe underperformance over the past 10 years. So, what else is new? Look, management and much of the board has changed and the only ones who can be blamed for the disastrous Emeritus acquisition are the old management, the former board and perhaps their advisors, who should have known better. Highlighted in his letter was the underperformance of Brookdale... Read More »
Locust Point Starts Equity Financing Program
Debt is certainly plentiful these days in the seniors housing and care market, leading us to a record level of M&A and investment in the industry. But what about equity? That can still trip up investors looking to purchase or develop a seniors housing property, especially if they have to raise it among family and friends, or from their own personal funds. But alternative asset manager Locust Point Capital is announcing its own project equity financing program for the seniors housing industry. The program will provide owner/operators with between $1 million and $10 million of equity capital for the construction, substantial renovation and/or acquisition of independent living, assisted...
