CBRE’s Late-Summer Surge
CBRE’s Aron Will has been on a roll lately, having just closed his fifth transaction in under a month. The latest helped fund the acquisition of four seniors housing communities in the Louisville, Kentucky and Indianapolis, Indiana MSAs. They actually represent the stabilized properties within a seven-property portfolio acquisition (totaling 688 units) that CBRE also provided financing for. Totaling 360 units, of which 278 are dedicated to assisted living and the remainder to memory care, the stabilized portfolio has been third-party managed by LCS since 2015 and will continue to be. The buyer, a joint venture between LCS and TH Real Estate, the real estate private equity affiliate of... Read More »

Knapp Group Closes Maryland and Michigan Transactions
The Knapp Group of Marcus & Millichap, led by Jim and Justin Knapp, closed two deals in succession, one in Maryland and one in Michigan. First, after yielding five offers that pushed the selling price $1.75 million over list, Messrs. Knapp sold a 145-bed skilled nursing facility in Burtonsville, Maryland, for around $17.25 million, or just under $119,000 per bed. That price is impressive, considering the 20-year old facility was losing over $500,000 annually. Occupancy was actually above average at 85%, but given that the current average of the national skilled nursing census just plunged to a new record-low of 81.7%, according to NIC, “above average” doesn’t mean what it once did. The... Read More »

Another Civitas Development in the Lone Star State
Civitas Senior Living may have already expanded outside its home state of Texas, with three existing communities and four more on the way in Florida, Kentucky, Colorado and Arizona, but the Fort Worth-based company is coming home for its latest development. The 188-unit community, located in the Red Oak suburb of Dallas, will feature independent living, assisted living and memory care services and will join the 32 other properties currently owned and operated by Civitas. To finance the development, HJ Sims invested $5.85 million of preferred equity, which it funded by placing corporate taxable bonds. The subordinate financing was structured to meet the requirements of the senior lenders... Read More »
We Can All Help To End Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s is a terrible disease, but everyone can help find a cure. We participated in our first Walk To End Alzheimer’s yesterday, along with about 2,000 other walkers in Norwalk, CT. While we raised $3,500 so far, it is only 50% of our goal, or $100 for each of the 70 years we have been in business. But there is still time to join our team, as the deadline is December 15. Check out our team page to make a donation to this very worthy cause. Kudos to Bill and Bob Thomas of Senior Star, who ranked second and third, respectively, for top walkers nationally, raising $108,558 (Bill) and $107,558 (Bob). Nothing like a family competition. Five of the top 10 walkers were from Oklahoma,... Read More »
Chicago Assisted Living Community In Lease-Up Sells To Joint Venture
A newly-opened and quickly-stabilizing assisted living community in the affluent Chicago suburb of Prospect Heights, Illinois sold with the help of Richard Swartz, Jay Wagner and Timothy Hosmer of Cushman & Wakefield. Developed in May 2017 by a joint venture between Oz Real Estate, Grandbrier Senior Living and Pathway to Living (the operator), the community features 69 assisted living and 32 memory care units. Three of the MC units featured a shared shower space between two residents, with each resident having their own bathroom and vanity. Lease-up was strong (averaging over five net move-ins per month), and by the time of the sale it was just under 70% occupied. With the current... Read More »
Regions Bank Finances Ohio Assisted Living Acquisition
The Regions Bank Healthcare Real Estate Group arranged a $17.57 million five-year term loan on behalf of a joint venture to acquire a 100-unit assisted living/memory care community in northeast Ohio. Developed three years ago by a local family, the community was improving operationally but was still considered a value-add opportunity for the buyer, a joint venture between an operator and a private equity firm. Proceeds of the loan will also help fund upgrades to the property operations and physical plant. Regions’ maximum loan-to-value for this type of transaction is 70%, so we can estimate the purchase price to be somewhere between $235,000 per unit and $250,000 per unit. Read More »Schedule a demo
