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.

Cody Tremper, Mike Garbers, Dave Fasano and Ross Sanders of Berkadia Seniors... Read More »

Not-For-Profit Divests to Private Owner/Operator
After 70 years operating a senior care campus in Portland, Oregon, a Jewish not-for-profit organization decided to exit its only physical senior care asset in order to continue its mission serving the Portland Jewish community. That seller was Cedar Sinai Park, a faith-based organization with a reputation for providing care for more than 10 years in southwest Portland. It was established in predominantly Jewish neighborhoods in Old South Portland, and was the first Jewish organization to expand into southwest Portland in 1954 when it built a retirement community.
