JLL Capital Markets has closed the sale of Inspira Arrowhead, a 165-unit seniors housing community in Glendale, Arizona. The community was under the ownership of Fortress Investment Group funds for just 18 months, but in that time occupancy rose from 89% to 94% and NOI improved by 35%. Fortress bought the asset in April 2024 in a joint venture with Cogir Senior Living, so Cogir clearly did a great job (and will be continuing as manager). Alanna Ellis and Alex Sheaffer of JLL had arranged acquisition financing for that deal, and Nick Stahler, Hamid Panahi and Steve Gebbing with Institutional Property Advisors of Marcus & Millichap had handled the 2024 sale. Built in 2019, the community... Read More »Stacked Stone Makes Another Acquisition
Stacked Stone Ventures, a real estate investment firm founded by Kent Eikanas, followed up on its October acquisition in Oklahoma with the purchase of two assisted living/memory care communities in Illinois, near the St. Louis MSA.

The operating margin stood close to 5%, with full financials available on LevinPro LTC. Stacked Stone can also significantly increase... Read More »Blueprint Handles Large SNF Deal in Pennsylvania
Not-for-profit to for-profit are not easy, and it took a two-year process for Blueprint to successfully close the sale of a 250-bed skilled nursing facility in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The property appears to be Cheltenham Nursing & Rehabilitation, one of three skilled nursing facilities owned by Dublin, Ohio-based American Health Foundation (AHF) that had agreed with the United States Department of Justice in June 2025 to pay $3.61 million to resolve claims related to billing Medicare and Medicaid for “grossly substandard skilled nursing services between 2016 and 2018.” The facilities were sued by the DOJ in June 2022 when the United States alleged that each facility failed to...

Public REIT Divests to Owner/Operator
Blueprint facilitated the sale of a Massachusetts skilled nursing facility on behalf of a public REIT in the senior care sector. The REIT determined that the facility was a strong candidate for sale due to its location. Plus, the former operator was switching focus to other assets in its mutual portfolio. Purpose-built in 1982 with significant renovations in 2006, the 78-bed facility is in Brighton, a neighborhood of Boston. The 91%-occupied building benefits from its proximity to Boston Medical Center – Brighton, just one mile away. At the time of sale, revenues exceeded $10 million annually. Blueprint targeted both skilled nursing and behavioral health buyers. There were... Read More »
