Blueprint’s Latest Transaction Trio
It’s proving to be a banner year for Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors, which has already announced 63 transactions closed, and counting. That not only beats Blueprint’s 2017 total of 53 transactions but is just one off of the previous record-high (Marcus & Millichap’s 64 transactions closed in 2015), according to our yearly broker rankings. We still don’t know the final count, but after just five years in business, that is an impressive rise. The last three deals saw seven more properties sold on the year. First, Ben Firestone and Michael Segal helped Diversicare Healthcare Services sell three skilled nursing facilities in Kentucky for $18.7 million, or $74,200 per bed.... Read More »

That will be Ensign’s challenge moving forward. Luckily,... Read More »

Birchwood Healthcare Partners is making a successful exit from their skilled nursing/assisted living facility in Huntington, West Virginia, more than doubling the facility’s value after just three years of ownership. When Birchwood originally purchased the 55-bed/unit facility from an individual owner in 2015 for $3.2 million, the facility was losing money. Originally built in 1928, the facility was totally renovated in 2009 making it one of the more modern facilities in the area. It also featured an assisted living component. Although it was 90% occupied, its operator tenant stopped paying rent and filed for bankruptcy, prompting the owner to sell. So, Birchwood brought in Providence... Read More »
Blueprint Sells Two Philly Prizes
A growing seniors housing investor saw upside at two assisted living/memory care communities in high barrier-to-entry markets in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and purchased the pair for an undisclosed price. Ben Firestone and Michael Segal of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors led the sales process on behalf of the publicly-traded REIT owner and the in-place operator, which will stay on to manage the communities. Built over 15 years ago, the properties were all-private pay but could improve their occupancy. Some capex could also make them more competitive in their respective markets. Operations were on the upswing throughout the marketing process, however, which is good news for the... Read More »Schedule a demo
