CareOne/Cardinal Purchase Pennsylvania Property

CareOne/Cardinal Purchase Pennsylvania Property

Blueprint was brought on by a Boston-based real estate investment and development firm in its divestment of a non-core seniors housing community in Quakertown, Pennsylvania. Built in 1989, Independence Court of Quakertown is an 89-unit, 116-bed assisted living community. Occupancy struggled to fully recover from pandemic-era lows, pushing the investment well beyond the intended holding period. However, the community always managed to remain cash-flow positive. The seller approached Blueprint to conduct a risk/reward analysis of executing a material capex investment program versus divesting, with the firm electing to sell. The marketing effort mainly highlighted the community’s history of... Read More »

60 Seconds with Steve Monroe: Brookdale Senior Living, What’s Next?

So, the big vote occurred last week, and shareholders of Brookdale Senior Living have spoken. We are sure that the recent increases in occupancy convinced some shareholders to stick with management and its “plan.” But the nominees from activist shareholder Ortelius Advisors were not off-the-wall candidates. It was an excellent group, and despite what Brookdale stated, again and again, they would have provided a new perspective and a lot of expertise. The current and temporary CEO could have learned from several of them, specifically Steven Vick, Steven Insoft and Lori Whitman. Oh well, a lost opportunity for many of the shareholders. Not to mention other members of the management team, the... Read More »
