The word from the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference, which kicked off in San Francisco this week, is that M&A activity in the biopharma/life sciences space will likely grow in 2025 after a relative downturn in 2024. A more business-friendly administration in D.C. combined with an enormous amount of dry powder set to do deals, including some bigger billion-dollar-plus ones too. Indeed, our own M&A data from LevinPro HC, which tracks all the healthcare services and tech deals, showed the 2024 total decline to just under 2,000 deals for the year, a 10% decrease from 2023’s activity and a 19% decrease from 2022’s. Dollar volume also dropped below $200 billion in total disclosed purchase... Read More »

Brookdale’s December 2024 Occupancy Drops
As we are now in full swing of the flu (and COVID) season, it is normal to expect that occupancy levels nationwide would decline slightly even though the seniors housing industry continues on its operational upswing. This is exactly what happened at Brookdale Senior Living. Consolidated weighted average occupancy in December declined sequentially by 20 basis points to 79.3%. This compares with 79.2% in September. In slightly better news, occupancy at the end of December was 80.5%, up 10 basis points from November, but still down 30 basis points from October and matching September’s level. However, Brookdale has now posted five straight months of month-end census above 80%, and barring any... Read More »
Ten Seniors Housing Communities Change Hands in Michigan
Meiser Commercial Real Estate was engaged by DeShano Companies, a development company that specializes in apartments and entered the assisted living industry in 2016, in its divestment of ten seniors housing communities that it built in Michigan. Madison Meiser and Bill Meiser handled each of the ten, separate transactions. This was a roughly 20-month closing process. First, in April 2023, an assisted living community in Coleman sold for $1.65 million, or $83,000 per unit. It was built in 2017 and features 20 units. The community was losing money at the time of sale, and was 70% occupied. It was sold through a land contract. Next, in June 2023, a 20-unit assisted living/memory care... Read More »

Sonida Acquires in Ohio
Cushman & Wakefield facilitated the sale of a seniors housing community in Cincinnati, Ohio. Built in 2022, Airy Hills at North Bend Crossing features 50 assisted living and 32 memory care units. However, the community was never opened due to foreclosure on the construction borrower. In 2019, Northmarq secured $18.2 million of construction debt from a regional bank, with a three-year, interest-only loan. In addition, the project received $5.5 million of PACE equity and another $5.3 million of equity to round out the capital stack. It did not help that the community sits adjacent to the 121-unit Wellington at North Bend Crossing Community that was developed by the same entity. Sonida... Read More »Schedule a demo
