Blueprint Closes Two Texas Portfolio Transactions
During the NIC Fall conference in Austin, Blueprint announced a couple of portfolio transactions in Texas. First, Amy Sitzman and Giancarlo Riso facilitated the sale of five skilled nursing facilities located throughout the Texas Hill Country and Houston.

SLIB Handles Minnesota Receivership Sale
A senior care campus in Pine Island, Minnesota, with some operational issues in the past has found a new owner thanks to Jake Anderson, Dan Geraghty and Ryan Saul of Senior Living Investment Brokerage. Set on 6.8 acres, the campus includes Pine Haven with 70 skilled nursing beds and Evergreen featuring 24 assisted living units. Pine Haven was built in stages over the years, starting in the mid-1960s, while the AL portion was added in 1995.

Long-Term Owner/Operator Divests in Rural Utah
Evans Senior Investments facilitated the sale of Heirloom Inn, a 67-unit assisted living community in Price, Utah. The seller, which developed the community over 20 years ago, was independent owner/operator Shauna O’Brien. At the time of sale, the property was performing well albeit with opportunities for expense management and revenue growth. There was strong interest from buyers due to the limited supply of assisted living communities in the surrounding market, with a regional operator that offers scale being a good fit for the asset. The three-week competitive marketing process resulted in ESI ultimately identifying a buyer aligned with the seller’s long-term objectives. The transaction... Read More »
