Big Deals Are Back
Big seniors housing and care companies are back in vogue as acquisition targets, and they are all occurring with the specter of a Brookdale Senior Living buyout looming over the market. First came Kayne Anderson Real Estate Advisors’ $825 million acquisition of Sentio Healthcare Properties and its portfolio of 34 seniors housing and medical office properties. Then, we learned of Sabra Health Care REIT and Care Capital Properties’ all-stock merger valued at nearly $4 billion. Now, in the midst of rumors that Brookdale is in exclusive talks with a Chinese investor (Zhonghong Zhuoye Group) for a potential sale valued at $3.0 billion, we learned of another major deal in the works.

A Couple of Acquisition Loans From Harborview Capital Partners
Harborview Capital Partners has been in the business of financing large acquisitions of senior care properties lately. Just last month, the firm arranged the sale and $37.4 million in HUD financing for a senior living portfolio in Arizona, and then days later, Harborview also sold a skilled nursing portfolio in Ohio and arranged a $20.7 million bridge loan to finance the deal. The team of Eli and Jonathan Kutner continued this impressive form in arranging a $20.71 million bridge loan to fund the acquisition of a skilled nursing facility in Westchester, New York (New York City MSA). The loan, provided by a national lender, featured a LIBOR-based rate and a three-year, interest-only term. In... Read More »
HHC Finance Hard At Work
HHC Finance headed to the greater Los Angeles area to close its latest transaction, a $6 million HUD refinance of a 99-bed/38-unit skilled nursing facility. The loan features a fixed interest rate below 3.5% and a 30-year term, and it comes on the heels of a $32 million refinance, arranged by HHC Finance, of two senior care facilities located outside of New Orleans. Owned by the Archdiocese of New Orleans, the two properties have a total of 437 beds and 318 units of skilled nursing, assisted living and memory care services. Recently, a 30-unit post-acute rehab center was added, and the construction loan to fund it was taken out by the refinance. More renovations are planned to both...

Adam Sherman of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors brought several parties together to arrange the capital for a $30 million assisted living/memory care development in Kissimmee, Florida. Located on a 3.4-acre site in the Osceola Corporate Center, a 900+ acre master planned mixed use development, the community will feature 104 units/114 beds of assisted living and 24 private memory care units, in addition to multiple dining venues and amenities. The developer, Providence One Partners, LLC, and the operator, Watercrest Senior Living, expect to open the three-story community by late summer of 2018. Construction began immediately after Mr. Sherman arranged the capital stack, which... Read More »Inspirit In Pennsylvania
Inspirit Senior Living just doubled its portfolio (to four properties), expanded its joint venture partnership with Care Investment Trust and grew its geographic reach with the acquisition of two personal care communities in Pennsylvania. Since being founded in 2015 by Greenfield Senior Living veteran David McHarg, Inspirit has taken a slow and steady approach to its growth, acquiring its first property in November 2016 (a 75-unit assisted living community in Winchester, Virginia for $9.38 million, or $125,070 per unit) and its second in February 2017 (a 120-unit AL/memory care community in Bartlett, Tennessee for $10 million, or $83,330 per unit). The two communities were considered... Read More »
Monticello Finances Massachusetts Portfolio Deal
Monticello Asset Management successfully originated nearly $70 million in bridge-to-HUD financing to facilitate the purchase of a four-property skilled nursing portfolio in Massachusetts. Consisting of 616 total beds (100 of which are for assisted living), the four facilities each average about 70,000 square feet and have an average age over 20 years old. The buying entity’s principals have over 15 years of experience owning and operating SNFs, and they plan to leverage that knowledge to improve operations at the facilities. Monticello, which was founded in 2014 by principals Thomas Lally, Alan Litt and Jonathan Litt, arranged $69.3 million in first lien debt financing to fund the...

We have written several times in recent years that reports of the “death of the skilled nursing facility” have been greatly exaggerated. That is clearly evident in the record-high prices we have recorded in the sector, soaring to an average of $99,200 per bed in 2016 (up from the previous record of $85,900 per bed in 2015) and to a median of $94,660 per unit (from $66,500 per bed in 2015), according to the Senior Care Acquisition Report. But this pricing peak contradicts a normally reliable indicator of the market’s health. As we have always stated, it is the absolute level of net operating income (NOI, and interchangeable with EBITDA) that drives value in the market. From 2011 through... Read More »
Brookdale and HCR ManorCare May Deal
Brookdale Senior Living is rumored to be in exclusive talks with a Chinese investor, and Carlyle Group may finally get out of its HCR ManorCare position. A new rumor was out yesterday that China-based Zhonghong Zhuoye Group was in exclusive negotiations with Brookdale Senior Living after making an offer to buy the company for $3.0 billion, apparently higher than other offers. The problem is that the current market cap is just $2.8 billion, so not much of a premium being offered. Apparently, Brookdale wants to be convinced that the U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. would approve the deal as non-threatening to national security. Really? State secrets on maintaining census and... Read More »
Mid-Atlantic Health Care Makes An Exit
Mid-Atlantic Health Care is exiting the skilled nursing market with the sale of its eight remaining facilities in Pennsylvania. The company was still growing its portfolio (which at one point numbered over 20 facilities) as recently as December 2015, so this move, and its sale of 14 skilled nursing facilities late last year, marks a precipitous divestment. Back to the June 2017 deal, while the real estate will continue to be owned and leased by Colony NorthStar (the REIT product of the merger between Colony Capital and NorthStar Asset Management Group), Mid-Atlantic sold the operations to Lakewood, New Jersey-based Mima Healthcare. Five of the facilities are located in Philadelphia (three... Read More »Schedule a demo
