Blueprint Arranges Another Ohio Deal

Blueprint Arranges Another Ohio Deal

A few weeks after arranging the sale of 17 skilled nursing facilities in Ohio, the Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors team of Connor Doherty and Ryan Kelly sold a SNF in the Dayton, Ohio MSA. Called Good Shepherd Village, the facility was built in the 1960s and thoroughly renovated in the 1990s. Operations were sold, but ownership decided to exit the industry while taking advantage of the seller’s market in skilled nursing. For context, the numerous buyers chasing relatively few facilities on the market led the average price per bed to rise to a near-record of $98,000 per bed in 2021, according to our recently published 27th Edition of The Senior Care Acquisition Report. That price... Read More »
Oregon Owner/Operator Sells Seven Sites

Oregon Owner/Operator Sells Seven Sites

An Oregon owner/operator has exited the industry with the sale of their seven-property portfolio. Built between 1999 and 2014, each building has 15 units, and all are in secondary markets along the I-5 Interstate. The purchase price was $15.875 million, or roughly $178,000 per unit. While historically operating near stabilized levels generating gross revenue of $6 million, performance declined in late 2021. Although, occupancy at closing was approximately 85%, which a number of operators across the country would probably love to achieve right now. The buyer is a regional operator with a focus on serving memory care residents which intends to invest in operational systems to drive... Read More »

Alabama Buyer Adds to Southeast Portfolio

Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors recently closed on a portfolio of two Class-A senior living properties in Alabama and Tennessee. The communities were built in 2018 and consist of 152 units of independent living, assisted living, and memory care. With lease-up regaining momentum following the pandemic, the target offered incremental investor upside via a turnkey memory conversion at one community and an opportunity to expand on excess land at the other community. Ownership engaged Blueprint in the fall of 2021 and the properties spent only a brief time on-market. The winning bidder was an Alabama-based owner/operator looking to expand their operating footprint in the Southeast. No... Read More »

Two Stabilized MC Communities Find New Owner

Two Stabilized MC Communities Find New Owner

An owner/operator successfully recapitalized two newly constructed, Class-A standalone memory care communities located in the Oklahoma City and Dallas Fort-Worth MSAs. The 2016- and 2018-built communities total 76 units (36 and 40 respectively) and were developed and managed by an experienced operator, who will stay on to manage operations.  It is worth noting that both assets demonstrated consistent upward trending operational performance despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Occupancies exceed 95% and generated $5.9 million in total revenue, and $1.9 Million in EBITDAR representing an impressive 32.5% operating margin. No wonder the current operator is staying on.
