Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way…To Construction Financing
Aron Will of CBRE brought together a joint venture between Harrison Street Real Estate Capital and Belmont Village Senior Living, and a national bank to arrange construction financing for the development of a brand-new assisted living/memory care community in Lincoln Park, Illinois. The project got its start in 2016, when Cain Brothers arranged the sale of a property adjacent to the former Children’s Memorial Hospital campus, which is currently undergoing a $350 million redevelopment run by McCaffery Interests and Hines Interests. The massive project will include 540 apartments in two 11-story buildings, 60 luxury condos and 162,000 square feet of retail space. Across the street, however,... Read More »
Solvere’s Southeast Strategy
Through a number of partnerships, Solvere Senior Living expanded its presence in three states by taking over management of three to-be-built assisted living/memory care communities in Florida (2) and Texas, and two existing independent living communities in Virginia. New Jersey-based Solvere has steadily grown its portfolio since its launch in 2009, with five senior living communities in five states (Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, New York and Indiana) that it operates as either a third-party manager or an equity partner. However, by the end of 2018, Solvere expects to add five more properties to its portfolio. Lindell Investments, Inc. partnered with Solvere to develop the communities...

Mike Pardoll of Marcus & Millichap has been especially prolific of late in the state of Georgia, closing three skilled nursing sales there this summer. A group of Georgia investors accounted for two of the deals, purchasing two facilities from a not-for-profit owner. Located in Cochran, one of the facilities was built in 1966 with 75 beds. It is 93% occupied, with a 74% Medicaid, 19% private pay and 7% Medicare census, and operated at a 15% margin. It sold for $5.7 million, or $76,000 per bed, with a 12.6% cap rate. The other facility, in Thomaston, was built in 1966 and 1986. Based on 106 total beds, it is 80% occupied, with an 81% Medicaid, 11% private pay and 8% Medicare census, and...

Already a force in West Virginia and North Carolina, Ridge Care Senior Living is expanding its assisted living/memory care portfolio into South Carolina with a brand-new 100-unit (60 AL and 40 MC) community in the beach town of Pawleys Island. Expected to open in Summer 2018, the community is expected to cost around $20.5 million, or over $200,000 per unit, to develop, which is close to the average for the regional cost for like-communities of $208,000 per unit, according to our in-house database. SunTrust Bank, through its Aging Services practice, provided an $11.3 million loan to fund the construction. Ridge Care, which currently manages 13 senior living communities on behalf of a small...

The start of September saw a large number of skilled nursing acquisitions announced, mostly at lower prices, with the exception of CareTrust REIT’s purchase of seven SNFs in Idaho for $65.5 million, or $114,700 per bed. Another deal, facilitated by Ben Firestone and Michael Segal of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors, didn’t feature a price but involved an aging facility with room for improvement. Built in 1974, the multistory facility is the largest SNF in the area, with 297 licensed beds. However, it doesn’t operate at capacity, and while the lobby, first floor and second floor, which have short-term rehab and therapy services, have been renovated in the past few years, the upper...

Ensign Executes In Arizona
Continuing its strategy to own more of the real estate in its portfolio of over 200 healthcare properties, The Ensign Group bought two skilled nursing facilities in Arizona for an undisclosed price. Included in the purchase is an 88-bed facility in Mesa (Phoenix MSA) and a 115-bed facility in Tucson, with a combined occupancy of about 68%.

Now, Ensign owns the real estate at 63 of the 229 facilities in its portfolio, but we imagine that 27.5% ratio will keep rising. That is... Read More »
Change Will Be Coming To Seniors Housing
What if there is more to the decline in seniors housing occupancy than just new development? Sometimes it seems I just think too much about this industry. For instance, it has been bothering me that occupancy continues to decline, even in quarters when it should be rising. New development has been having an impact, of course. But what if there is something else going on, or maybe multiple things? A lot is going to happen, and change, between now and when the first boomer turns 80 in 2026, and we may have to wait until they are 85 or even older for the “big impact.” Everyone has been focused on this demographic, and there is the often discussed thought of, what if we increase penetration...
