Private Equity Firm Divests Seniors Housing Communities to SNF Company

Senior Living Investment Brokerage’s Vince Viverito, Nick Cacciabando, Jeff Binder and Lucas Doll handled the sale of two seniors housing communities in Oklahoma. The communities are located in Mustang and Oklahoma City, both built in stages from the late-1990s to the late-2000s. They total 135 units of independent living, assisted living and memory care.  These were the last seniors housing assets of the Denver-based private equity seller and were struggling with poor performance. The Oklahoma City asset was especially lagging with 52% occupancy (as opposed to 80% for the Mustang property). Given that situation, SLIB strategically decided to leverage an auction process to identify a... Read More »

Cash-Flowing AL Community Trades Hands in Wisconsin

Cash-Flowing AL Community Trades Hands in Wisconsin

Connor Doherty and Ryan Kelly of Blueprint advised on the sale of a 92-unit assisted living community located just outside of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The community’s positive cash flow, well maintained physical plant and established referral base, plus some operational upside, made it an attractive prospect for investors.  We believe the asset was Clifden Court, which was acquired in 2017 by the private equity firm SHA Capital Partners for $9.12 million, or $99,100 per unit, according to LevinPro LTC’s M&A database.

Investor Grows Through Seven-Property Portfolio Purchase

Investor Grows Through Seven-Property Portfolio Purchase

A large portfolio of senior care facilities traded in Ohio and Kentucky, commanding a strong price, we believe, in the process. Connor Doherty and Ryan Kelly of Blueprint advised on the sale of the 983-bed, seven-property portfolio, which features mostly skilled nursing beds and some assisted living units.

According to those familiar with the listing, the operating margin may have also topped 12% or 13% and must have generated significant cash flow. The assets are within a 90 minute... Read More »
