CBRE Comes Full Circle
CBRE was all over the sale of a seniors housing community in Conroe, Texas, facilitating its sale on behalf of the previous owner and arranging acquisition financing for the buyer, Chicago Pacific Founders. Originally built in 2016 by a joint venture between Paradigm Senior Living and Padua (a real estate development firm based in Houston), this community features 60 independent living, 60 assisted living and 20 memory care units, along with 17 detached IL cottages across an 11-acre campus. Its $30 million construction cost was financed by one of Lancaster Pollard’s first Propero™ loans, which totaled about $26.7 million. The JV contributed a portion of equity and also received a purchase... Read More »
The Disgraceful Democratic Debates
The presidential debates last week had a glaring hole, one that everyone should be concerned about. I don’t know about you, but I watched all four hours of the presidential debates last week. I do sort of thrive on those things. But didn’t you think there was something missing? Something major that was not asked? There was not one question from the moderators about fixing Social Security, or Medicare, or Medicaid, or our growing national debt. The Social Security “trust fund” is projected to be depleted in 16 years, just when the last boomer turns 71. Next year it will spend more than it takes in for the first time in nearly 40 years. Medicare’s hospital insurance “trust fund” is expected... Read More »
Cascade Capital Group Acquires 16 Former Skyline SNFs
The future is looking brighter for 16 South Dakota skilled nursing facilities formerly owned by Golden Living and operated by Skyline Healthcare, as Cascade Capital Group acquired the portfolio. The facilities had been operated by a receiver since last Spring, after Skyline infamously ran nearly empty on basic food and medical supplies for them. Houlihan Lokey Capital represented Golden Living in the transaction, which included more than 1,000 beds across the state from Rapid City to Sioux Falls. To fund the deal, Cascade secured financing through its long-standing lending partner, CIBC Bank USA. Cascade’s operating partner, Legacy Healthcare, will take over the operations; no easy task....

Clousing Sizzles in the Southeast
The summer heat isn’t getting to Brad Clousing of Senior Living Investment Brokerage, who recently closed two transactions in the Southeast. First, Mr. Clousing was joined by Daniel Geraghty and Dave Balow to sell a personal care community about 65 miles northeast of Atlanta. Originally built in 1994, the community operates with 24 private personal care units and 10 semi-private memory care units. It was extensively renovated in 2015 and offers additional room for an expansion. With the renovation complete and the community stabilized at 97% occupancy, its local owner/operator decided to exit the asset. A Northeast owner/operator entered the Georgia market with its purchase of the... Read More »
O&M Investments Adds Another SNF
Private equity firm O&M Investments acquired a value-add skilled nursing facility in the Dallas, Texas market. At face value, this appears to be a good opportunity for O&M to generate a healthy return. First, the facility is relatively new at just 13 years old, with improvements made in 2010. Second, it recently converted a wing of the facility to skilled memory care, which should improve quality mix (currently at 16%) and revenues. Because of the conversion, the facility currently operates with 104 out of 124 licensed beds, with 83% occupancy based on the functional beds. Finally, the facility is located in an affluent, inner suburb of Dallas (Richardson), which certainly doesn’t... Read More »
29th Street Capital Enters Senior Living Market
There’s a new private equity investor in the senior living market. 29th Street Capital, a firm focused on value-add purchases in the multifamily space, partnered with Knoxville, Tennessee-based developer/operator Solinity to make its first acquisition in the metro Atlanta area. The target was a 25-unit assisted living community in Norcross. Built 32 years ago, it is currently receiving renovations to its exterior, units and common areas to improve operations (and add value). 29th Street and Solinity renamed the community under their new brand, Enrich Senior Living. Look for the partners to grow their holdings across the Southeast. Read More »

Capitol Seniors Housing Opens High-End Maryland Community
Capitol Seniors Housing just opened an assisted living/memory care community in the Baltimore area at a cost of $27.2 million, or nearly $325,000 per unit. Unique to the community (and probably pushed up its development cost) is its location adjacent to the 79-acre Waugh Chapel Towne Centre, which features a Wegmans, Target, Dicks, an IMAX theater and others. The community itself, in addition to its 84 units, featured a second-story terrace, a courtyard and a number of amenities. Moseley Architects designed the building, with Faulkner Design Group designing the interior. CSH hired The Arbor Company to manage the community and to oversee its fill-up. Read More »
First Half of 2019 Hits Record M&A Pace
Signs of a potential economic slowdown, a tight labor market and operational difficulties in the senior living industry did not stop buyers from announcing a whopping 228 transactions in the first half of 2019, according to our M&A database DealSearchOnline. That doesn’t even include deals that will eventually rise to the surface or remain undisclosed altogether. The total beats the second half of 2018, which recorded 223 deals, and the first six months of 2018, when 204 deals were made. What’s significant is that 2018 was already a record year in terms of M&A, soaring above 2017’s total of 307 publicly announced deals with an incredible 427 transactions. Now, at 228 deals so far...

New Senior Divests Struggling Pittsburgh Property
With its Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania senior living community in danger of losing its license, New Senior Investment Group decided to divest the troubled asset, selling to an area not-for-profit for nearly half of what it originally paid for the property in 2013. The community’s operator, Oregon-based Blue Harbor Senior Living, had received a number of violations and operated it on a provisional license that meant that only 80 of its 164 units could be occupied. That could make anyone a motivated seller. So, six years after SNR acquired the community from the original developer for approximately $15.6 million, they decided to sell to Vincentian Collaborative System, a faith-based...
