One of the largest seniors housing portfolio deals of the year just closed, also for one of the highest per-unit prices we have seen for the sector.

The deal comprised The Clarendale Portfolio, which features three seniors housing communities with 635 independent living, assisted living and memory care units. The average age of the portfolio was five years, and the buildings were spread out in Arizona (Clarendale of Chandler), Missouri (Clarendale of St. Peters) and Tennessee (Clarendale at Indian Lake).

Welltower Continues To Outperform
Welltower announced its third quarter earnings results, and they were better than even the most optimistic investors thought they would. Probably better than what CEO Shankh Mitra thought they would be six months ago. Everything is up, and while not where the numbers were a few years before Covid, the performance is better than most. Same-community occupancy in their SHOP portfolio grew by 310 basis points year over year and RevPOR grew by 4.9%. And same-community NOI increased by 300 basis points. The REIT completed $2.4 billion in gross investments, and it has an acquisition pipeline that would make the other REITs blush. But don’t forget, it has nothing to do with their cost... Read More »
Multifamily Investor Buys IL Community
Working on behalf of an institutional seller, Blueprint facilitated the sale of Elison Independent Living of Niles, a 288-unit independent living community in Niles, Illinois. Current ownership had recently completed high-end renovations to the common areas, increasing the appeal of the property to investors (and to residents, we imagine). Traditional seniors housing, active adult and multifamily acquirers were targeted before the seller chose to move forward with a historically multifamily buyer, Legacy Crossings, which wanted to enter the seniors housing market. Legacy Crossings has a presence in Florida and Illinois and plans to undertake an extensive capital improvement project to... Read More »
REIT Buys The Blake at Waco
A publicly traded REIT acquired a Class-A and well performing seniors housing community in Waco, Texas. Built in 2021, The Blake at Waco offers 71 assisted living and 41 memory care units on a site adjacent to the Baylor Scott & White Hospital. It includes a host of amenities and boasted both strong occupancy and NOI at the time of the sale. The Class-A community could also be described as the premier offering in the submarket. It was previously owned by Biloxi, Mississippi-based LifeCare Properties, which retained Blake Management as the operator. The REIT, wisely, will keep Blake on as the operator. Cody Tremper, Mike Garbers, Dave Fasano and Ross Sanders of Berkadia Seniors... Read More »

Helios Healthcare Advisors arranged the facility on behalf of EVA. The properties in question include a 99-bed skilled nursing facility and a 66-bed assisted living community. The SNF was built in the 1970s and was underperforming, with occupancy in the mid-60s. Built in 1994, the assisted living community was also occupied around 60% and needed renovations to enhance its appeal in the market. There was a maturing seller note on the AL property, while the...

Growing PE Firm Acquires California Community
Haven Senior Investments was engaged by a mom & pop in the sale of their seniors housing community in the Fresno, California MSA.
