Owned by a public REIT, three of the facilities are located in the Columbus and Cincinnati MSAs, while the fourth is in the northwest part of the state near Indiana.

Merrill Commercial Real Estate Sells Memory Care Community Out of Receivership

Merrill Commercial Real Estate Sells Memory Care Community Out of Receivership

Tyler Merrill of Merrill Commercial Real Estate took an Oregon memory care community that was in receivership and sold it to a group of individual investors new to the industry. To take on the turnaround, that buyer group hired a Northwest-based operator to manage the community. It’s not an easy time for that, to say the least, but with a purchase price of $3 million, or $54,500 per unit, there is certainty some wiggle room to add value.  Built in 1998, this 55-unit memory care community is located in Coos Bay on the central Oregon coast. Its previous owner originally acquired the community as part of a four-property portfolio in 2008, and Mr. Merrill was brought in to sell all four in... Read More »
