Healthpeak Properties’ Florida Sale Handled By Newmark
Newmark Knight Frank has closed another seniors housing sale in the middle of the COVID-19 crisis, representing Healthpeak Properties in its sale of a community in Lantana, Florida.

Newmark Sells Connecticut Community
Newmark Knight Frank closed on a large senior living community in Farmington, Connecticut a few weeks before the COVID-19 pandemic let loose in the Northeast.

From One REIT to Another
A senior living community in the Dallas, Texas area that has recently fallen on some bad times just changed owners from one publicly traded REIT to another. Built in 1999 with 90 units of independent living, assisted living and memory care, the community was previously operated by Atria Senior Living. It had historically operated at stabilized levels, but leadership turnover and new competition (not surprising to hear from the Dallas-Fort Worth MSA) affected occupancy, which in turn led to discounting and lower cash flow. That’s an all-too-familiar combination in the seniors housing industry these days. So, the publicly traded REIT seller hired Ben Firestone, Michael Segal, Joshua Salzman... Read More »
