In more normal times, whatever that may be, the third quarter is supposed to be a good one for occupancy increases, perhaps the best quarter of the year. Not so in the past three years, however. NIC MAP has reported yet another slow month for seniors housing occupancy, which does not bode well for the rest of the year or for early 2018. The modest (10 basis points) increase in assisted living occupancy, combined with the modest decrease (-10 basis points) for independent living, does not bode well for the fourth quarter, when recent weather-related events will surely have a negative impact. Following that will be the first quarter flu season problems, which in 2017 lasted well into the... Read More »Room To Expand In Port St. Lucie
Senior Living Investment Brokerage’s Brad Clousing successfully sold a 36-unit assisted living community in Port St. Lucie, Florida, that has plenty of room for expansion. Seizing that opportunity was a South Florida-based owner/operator, which acquired the community for $3.18 million, or $88,300 per unit, with an 8.0% cap rate. The seller was a developer who was looking to exit operations after relocating to Minnesota. That said, they left the 17-year old community in fine shape, with 97% occupancy and a 23.5% operating margin on about $1.075 million of revenues, which could still be improved. There is the opportunity to expand with an additional 24 units (36 beds) of memory care, as well... Read More »
Capital One In Oak Brook
A skilled nursing facility in Oak Brook, Illinois (Chicago MSA) that has undergone several changes in recent years refinanced its debt with Capital One. Built in stages from 1971 to 1989, with a therapy gym constructed in 2007, the facility is currently owned by a private owner/operator with other properties in the state. A number of semi-private units were recently converted to privates in order to attract Medicare and private pay patients, and as a result, the facility currently operates at 114 beds, despite being licensed for 156 beds. To refinance its debt, as well as fund project-related costs, capital expenditures and working capital related to lease-up and stabilization, the owner... Read More »
Pyramid Healthcare Management Enters the Skilled Nursing Market
There’s a new entrant to the skilled nursing market. Northeast-based Pyramid Healthcare Management is a recently formed provider, run by two principals in New York and a Tennessee-based principal with operating experience. That will come in handy with the company’s first acquisition for two skilled nursing facilities in Georgia. Both built around 1970, these facilities are considered to be “value-add,” and are being strategically divested by the publicly traded REIT owner. The 100-bed facility in Rome and the 210-bed facility in Columbus combined for 81% occupancy (just below the national average), with a quality mix at about 20%. And while they brought in approximately $15 million in... Read More »MidCap Financial’s On A Mission
MidCap Financial is back in the news, having provided a $17.5 million bridge-to-HUD loan to an assisted living/memory care community in Reno, Nevada. The three-year, floating-rate loan will take out construction debt and recapture equity in the property, which was developed in 2016 with 116 total units. Lease-up was quick, reaching 88% occupancy within a year of opening. Mission Senior Living, based in nearby Carson City, owns and operates the community, along with four others in Oregon, Nevada and Arizona, and a couple more in the development pipeline. Read More »
Who Is Investing In Skilled Nursing Facilities?
Despite reimbursement pressures and dropping occupancy levels, investment demand for SNFs remains high. But why? Do you want to find out who is investing in skilled nursing facilities and why? Perhaps you may be asking, who would invest in the SNF sector today when reimbursement pressures are growing, labor shortages are hurting, occupancy levels are dropping, and costs in general are rising faster than reimbursement? Actually, a lot of companies are investing in the sector. In fact, in the third quarter, 46% of the targets in the M&A market were skilled nursing facilities or portfolios. And the third quarter was not particularly unusual in this regard. The market remains quite vibrant... Read More »
CBRE Sells A Second First Centrum Independent Living Community
CBRE sold another First Centrum independent living community in Virginia, a couple of years after selling the developer’s 118-unit Glen Allen (Richmond MSA) community for $25.88 million, or $219,280 per unit. The latest deal featured a 120-unit community in Williamsburg. Built in 2010 by First Centrum, it features a range of unit options, from 660- to 940-square foot one bedroom units to 880- to 1,267-SF two-bedroom suites. Current asking rents start at around $2,200 for the one-bedrooms and go up to about $2,900 for two bedrooms. Operations were strong, with a near-50% margin, and it was well-occupied, at 94%, which was certainly helped by the property’s location near historic Colonial... Read More »
Diving Into CareTrust REIT’s Latest Virginia Acquisition
When CareTrust REIT announced a spate of deals at the beginning of this month, on top of an already busy year, one deal in particular stood out, mainly for the fact that it did not involve a skilled nursing facility. With a couple of exceptions when the REIT purchased a few memory care communities in Wisconsin and Minnesota, 2017 has mostly seen a build-up of CareTrust’s skilled nursing portfolio, including 20 facilities in five transactions announced so far this year. However, CareTrust bucked its recent trend and also acquired a portfolio of three assisted living communities in Virginia from Amerisist Assisted Living for an undisclosed price. Located in Culpepper, Louisa and Warrenton... Read More »What’s Up With 55-plus Communities?
A sector we have not traditionally covered but has been receiving more and more attention lately is the 55-plus senior apartment market. The property type does not feature the services like a common dining room (with a meal plan) or laundry that distinguishes independent living from strictly senior apartments, and so, it fell out of our “senior care” scope. However, with so much attention diverted to assisted living and memory care in recent years by many in the industry, some (both veterans and newcomers alike) are betting that the senior apartments sector is the perfect low-profile investment that still takes advantage of the Baby Boomer wave inching towards retirement age and beyond....
