Meridian’s Half-Billion-Dollar Quarter
The team of Ari Adlerstein, Ari Dobkin and Josh Simpson of Meridian Capital Group had quite the Q1, closing more than $500 million across 17 transactions in nine states. Helping them reach that impressive mark were a couple of large financings for skilled nursing portfolio sales, including $126 million in both debt and equity arranged for Summit Healthcare REIT to purchase 14 skilled nursing facilities in Indiana. A finance company provided the $96 million loan, while an institutional investor funded the $30 million in equity. Then, on behalf of a private skilled nursing owner, Meridian arranged a $90 million loan (also provided by a finance company) to fund the acquisition of 12 SNFs in... Read More »
SLIB’s Solid Start to April
Senior Living Investment Brokerage kicked off its Q2 with two transactions announced on the first on the month. First, Brad Clousing and Jeff Binder headed to Cape Coral, Florida to sell an 80-unit assisted living community that was a geographical outlier for the previous owner. The seller was also looking to redeploy capital to its other communities and to fund future growth. Built in 1968 with a substantial renovation in 1995, the community was well-occupied at 94% at the time of marketing. However, it was also operating at a 19% margin on just under $3.2 million of revenues, so there is a value-add opportunity for the new regional owner/operator, which paid $6.275 million, or $78,400...

KeyBank Funds ReNew Acquisitions
Private REITs may have taken a significant step back from their heady M&A days around 2014 and 2015, but one private REIT has been pursuing a growth strategy lately. Founded last February by George Chapman (former CEO of Health Care REIT, now Welltower), ReNew REIT (or ReNew Investors) now has 61 seniors housing communities and 5,645 units in 11 states in its portfolio thanks to several large portfolio acquisitions, including a 16-property purchase in Michigan and a RIDEA agreement with Southeast-based operator Phoenix Senior Living. So far in 2019, the company has closed four more acquisitions, adding eight additional communities and 813 units in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Virginia to... Read More »
The ABCs of the Independent Living Market
For some years now, we have separated out the assisted living and independent living M&A markets into a couple of quality-based categories, classified as “A,” “B,” and “C” properties. The determination is made by the property’s age, location and size, and there are always going to be some properties that can fit into either category. But they should balance out in the end. Some owners of “A” properties do not believe it is an apples-to-apples comparison between the quality of their communities and “B” and “C” communities in general, and probably vice versa. That is because the rates that “A” communities can charge and the margins they can operate at often exceed those of “B” and “C”... Read More »
Helios Heads to Jackson, Mississippi
Jeff Rhodes and Bill Janis of Helios Healthcare Advisors, continuing Helios’ impressive start to 2019, handled the sale of a 120-bed skilled nursing facility in Jackson, Mississippi. Originally built in 1984 with 60 beds and expanded with another 60 beds in 1997, this facility was previously owned by a local family with a good reputation in the area. Occupancy was solid at 84%, typically with seven or eight Medicare patients at a time. The buyer, a regional operator with a large presence in the state of Mississippi, may expand the short-term rehab program going forward. They paid $10.1 million, or $84,200 per bed, for the facility.

Collaboration Funds Canonsburg Acquisition
A collaboration between Contemporary Healthcare Capital (CHC) and BHI helped facilitate the acquisition of a 118-bed skilled nursing facility in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. It was thanks to a $7.95 million senior loan provided by BHI and a $1.575 million mezzanine loan provided by CHC that enabled David Simha, a skilled nursing owner/operator, to both purchase the stabilized facility and help fund its operations, in addition to providing for customary closing costs. In addition, BHI’s financing included a $600,000 line of credit and an earn-out feature of $2.1 million based on certain predetermined performance metrics. This is the first time CHC and BHI have come together to close a... Read More »
Strong M&A Activity Continues
As we head to the end of the first quarter, seniors housing and care M&A activity may reach 100 transactions for the fourth consecutive quarter. I should no longer be amazed by how strong the seniors housing and care M&A market remains, given all the headwinds we hear about all the time. From the public companies, Capital Senior Living’s stock took another tumble last week and Five Star Senior Living continues to struggle, but may soon get some rent relief. Nevertheless, buyers keep on snapping up senior living and skilled nursing properties. We are approaching the end of the first quarter, and that often means a fair amount of deal announcements the last week. Before we get those,... Read More »
Memory Care SNF Sold to Institutional Investor
Senior Living Investment Brokerage flocked to Iowa (no, not to launch a bid for the Presidency) to sell a 56-bed skilled nursing facility in West Des Moines. This facility stands out in that it exclusively serves Alzheimer’s and dementia patients. Occupancy at the time of the sale was 86% with a 94% private pay and 6% Medicare census. We don’t hear of figures like that often for a skilled nursing facility. The selling group of investors had realized their investment objectives and decided to sell the facility to an institutional investment group based in California. A national company with a strong presence in the Midwest will operate going forward. Nick Cacciabando and Jeff Binder handled... Read More »Schedule a demo
