Oklahoma Hospital Divests to Arkansas-Based Joint Venture
Senior Living Investment Brokerage continued its May hot streak with two more closings. First, the firm represented a local hospital that was looking to divest its 55-unit assisted living/memory care community in McAlester, Oklahoma, in the rural eastern part of the state. The community was built in 2017 but lagged behind operationally for years. Occupancy was healthy at 91%, but it operated below a 10% margin on $3.1 million of revenues. It could stand to benefit from a more experienced and seniors housing-focused manager to push rates, control expenses and support its staff. An Arkansas-based partnership that has an operating presence in Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma emerged as the... Read More »

Multiple operators placed bids, with the ultimate buyer being a newer owner/operator that was looking to expand its portfolio. The community, which traded at a... Read More »
