Welltower Announces Major Active Adult Acquisition
As many of you know, with the onset of the pandemic, large acquisitions were in short supply. This was because there were few sellers of large portfolios who would take a haircut on pricing, and there were few lenders who would want to fund a billion-dollar plus deal. Well, it took the largest healthcare REIT to break this deal logjam. Welltower just announced its planned acquisition of 25 purpose-built active adult communities with nearly 3,000 units mostly in the Pacific Northwest. These are all managed by Affinity Living Communities, which will continue to manage them for Welltower. The purchase price is $969 million, or nearly $248,000 per unit. The transaction will be funded by cash... Read More »
60 Seconds with Swett: SNF Values Drop
We are in the middle of compiling our 2023 M&A statistics for the soon-to-be-released 29th Edition of The Senior Care Acquisition Report, and the difficult year that was 2023 is coming clearer into focus, at least from a valuation perspective. We’ll preview the skilled nursing market first, which remained relatively strong despite the numerous headwinds facing the sector. On the other hand, some of the tailwinds like rising reimbursement rates, falling supply of licensed beds and revenues from related ancillary businesses have helped prop up valuations. We heard consistently throughout 2023 that values for SNFs had dropped between 10-15% from their peak around 2021 and early 2022, BUT... Read More »

CBRE Refinances Two Coastal Communities
CBRE National Senior Housing arranged a couple of refinances for Class-A assets in major metro areas. The first was closed for Chelsea Senior Living of New City, an 80-unit assisted living/memory care community located 30 miles north of New York City in a high-barrier-to-entry, affluent market. Built in 2021, the community features 56 AL and 24 MC units. It is owned by Capitol Seniors Housing, which brought in Chelsea Senior Living to operate the community. Aron Will and Adam Mincberg of CBRE originated a $21 million bridge loan through Ohana Real Estate Investors, a national debt fund. The loan featured an interest-only term and a floating rate. Will and Mincberg also teamed... Read More »
Seniors Housing Asset Divested for Behavioral Health Conversion
Blueprint’s Behavioral Healthcare team advised an owner in the sale of an existing seniors housing/memory care community in Indianapolis, Indiana, to be converted to an inpatient residential substance use disorder clinic. The asset was underwritten as both seniors housing and a behavioral healthcare conversion candidate. Blueprint deployed a behavioral healthcare marketing campaign given the undersupply and strong demand from behavioral providers to operate within the state. There was strong initial interest within the first few weeks of marketing and the buyer ultimately selected has an existing footprint within the state. The buyer also intends to deploy significant capital improvement... Read More »
Non-Performing Loan up for Grabs
A non-performing mezzanine loan on a newly built seniors housing community in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, is up for auction, with Newmark leading the process. The associated property was built in 2021 with 282 units of independent living, assisted living, memory care and active adult. The three separate buildings are interconnected via a skybridge with large glass windows. Common area space totals 134,642 square feet across the community. The fixed-rate construction loan was originated in December 2019 in the amount of $22.5 million to fund the project. It carried an interest rate of 12% (6% current and 6% Paid-in-Kind). The loan was later modified in October 2020 to increase its... Read More »
SNF Portfolio Trades in California
A portfolio of six skilled nursing facilities in California was finally sold in multiple phases, with the two last facilities closing after the completion of HUD debt assumption and state regulatory approvals. The facilities sold for $154 million in total, and while the combined beds were not disclosed, pricing was reportedly strong on a per-bed basis and possibly a record for any portfolio SNF deal in the state, again on a per-bed basis. Gideon Orion of Walker & Dunlop facilitated the sale, his third over $150 million closed in the last 12 months. Located in Southern California, the facilities were on the older side (typical of the state), having been built from the 1960s to the... Read More »
Monarch Sources SNF Acquisition Debt
Mission Health Communities, a private multi-state operator of senior care facilities, recently engaged Alec Blanc of Monarch Advisors to source acquisition debt for the purchase of a 78-bed skilled nursing facility in Topeka, Kansas. The behavioral-focused facility was already operated by Mission Health, making for a seamless transition. Occupancy hovered between the high-80s and low-90s, and the facility was profitable, benefiting from a significant rate increase in Kansas effective July 1, 2023. Mission Health had taken over operations after the facility entered into receivership. Mission Health obtained a $2.1 million senior loan from a local bank to fund the deal. Monarch structured...

Marcus & Millichap Closes Two SNF Deals
The Knapp-Stahler Group at Marcus & Millichap closed a couple of skilled nursing deals on the eve of the eCap conference in Miami, so a celebratory pina colada by the pool sounds appropriate. First, Nick Stahler and Austin Diamond sold an 85+ bed facility in East Texas to a regional owner/operator that was selected for its proven track record and ability to close “all cash” in an expedited time frame. The facility had historically struggled with occupancy (it was in the mid-50% range at the time of closing), and rising expenses due to inflation created further challenges. There was clearly room for improvement in those areas, plus in the payor mix and in additional revenue via... Read More »
