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 »

CIBC Helps with Portopiccolo Refinance
The Portopiccolo Group secured a refinance on 15 of its skilled nursing facilities from a diverse group of lenders, including CIBC Bank USA, which, along with other co-lenders, provided a $220 million senior secured credit facility. Located in Virginia, the facilities total 1,675 skilled nursing beds and 34 assisted living units. They have been operated by a third-party tenant for several years and boasted strong historical operations. Occupancy has been approximately 85%, with an EBITDAR margin around 25%. That is strong. In addition to the senior debt, CIBC provided a $13.0 million revolving line of credit to support the ongoing operations of the third-party tenant. The financing... Read More »
Struggling Ohio CCRC Changes Hands
In a swift transaction, Blueprint’s Connor Doherty, Ryan Kelly and Dan Mahoney closed the sale of a CCRC in Richmond Heights, Ohio (Cleveland area), just 55 days from offer acceptance to closing. That fast track, helped by the buyer paying all cash, got the deal completed before year-end, enabling the new owner to benefit from Ohio’s improved reimbursement environment. The property, Richmond Heights Place, may need that, as it was losing money at the time of the sale. Nearly 25 years old, the 138-unit community was previously owned by a West Coast-based owner/operator that was making a strategic exit. A well capitalized private owner/operator looking to expand and increase its scale in the... Read More »

The loan came with a competitive fixed rate and flexible prepayment. Read More »
Omega Healthcare Reports, American Healthcare Prices IPO
There had been some nasty rumors in the market leading up to the release of Omega Healthcare Investors’ fourth quarter and year-end earnings release. Some people fretted that the situation had deteriorated with too many of their customers, which could force them to cut their dividend rate. You can’t believe everything you read, except on these pages. While there are still some tenant issues, the overall situation is improving. Because they are leases, the information comes with a three-month lag. For the 12 months ended September 30, 2023, occupancy was 79.1%, up from the previous quarter and up 290 basis points from the year-ago quarter. EBITDARM coverage was 1.63x in the third quarter,...

Sonida Senior Living Readies for Next Phase
Don’t you love it when a plan finally comes together? Sonida Senior Living has been working diligently to streamline its capital structure, not to mention improving its census and margins. Yesterday they announced two major developments which should set the stage for future growth. First, they purchased $77.4 million of outstanding debt held by Protective Life for $40.2 million, or a 52% discount, across seven communities. We are not sure we have seen that large of a discount in the market, and perhaps news of this will light a fire under some other creditors. Part of the purchase price was funded by a $24.8 million expansion of Sonida’s existing term loan with Ally Bank. An additional $44... Read More »Schedule a demo
