Ziegler Tackles Three Transactions
Ziegler facilitated the sale of three transactions on behalf of not-for-profit sellers. First, a skilled nursing portfolio in Northern Ohio was sold to a for-profit buyer. Next, in a two-part transaction, a not-for-profit in Tennessee sold two CCRCs to another not-for-profit (through an affiliation) and divested the SNF portion of one campus to a for-profit buyer. The seller of the skilled nursing portfolio in Northern Ohio was a not-for-profit dedicated to providing affordable housing, healthcare and supportive services. This was its only healthcare asset in the state. The portfolio comprised three buildings consisting of 182 skilled nursing beds and 24 behavioral health beds. One... Read More »
AOG’s Foray into The Active Adult Sphere
A few years ago, we were preparing for an influx of multifamily developers and investors to flood into the seniors housing space, particularly in active adult, which was seen as an attractive add-on to their traditional multifamily portfolios with favorable demographic trends, higher (and more consistent) rents, good occupancy rates and longer lengths of stay. Active adult may have also acted as a gateway to other seniors housing sectors like independent living and assisted living for these investors. Then, interest rates rose above average active adult cap rate between 4% and 5%, and development became more difficult, not to mention expensive. But as we (and others) have noted, the... Read More »

60 Seconds with Steve Monroe: Mad as Hell
We are halfway through the year, and I am already angry. Angry at what, you may ask? All the interference from government, both elected officials and the bureaucrats. From people who think they understand how seniors housing should work. From the unions. From the anti-PE firm groups. I always say, do a few 12-hour shifts, or move in for a few days, and then tell me what you think. It is not easy, and most people are doing the best they can. Regardless, I am mad as Hell and getting tired of it all. Except, and not to sound hypocritical, but I had to smile when I read about the investigations into A Place for Mom, a service that I always had my suspicions about. A service that many...

Focus Healthcare Partners Set for Growth, Again
A familiar buyer is set to be very busy in the next year of seniors housing M&A activity, as Focus Healthcare Partners has closed on its Focus Senior Housing Fund II LP and raised approximately $370 million in capital commitments for it. The closed-end, commingled discretionary real estate fund will target private pay seniors housing assets across active adult, independent living, assisted living and memory care, but no stand-alone memory care. Campuses with a full continuum of care would be the most attractive, too. The fund is 20% larger than its predecessor vehicle, which raised $312 million in 2017 from seven institutional investors. Fund II, by contrast, drew from 15 different... Read More »
