Blueprint Handles Record Sale In Oregon

Blueprint Handles Record Sale In Oregon

We just recorded the highest-priced single-asset seniors housing sale in the state of Oregon, in a transaction handled by Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors’ Dan Mahoney, Jacob Gehl and Blake Bozett. The target is located in Portland and was originally developed in 1992 by the current seller. Also renovated in 2000, the community features 286 units of independent living, assisted living and memory care. Integral Senior Living has managed it since 2011, and managed it well, apparently, as it was 94% occupied with a 100% private pay census. We have also estimated it operated at a roughly 45% margin on approximately $13 million of in-place revenues. Strategic Student & Senior... Read More »
Blueprint Ends Active August With Corpus Christi Closing

Blueprint Ends Active August With Corpus Christi Closing

It was owned by a Florida-based owner for generations, but its lease with the existing tenant was coming to an end. Because the owner did not operate in Texas, the facility was deemed to be non-core. In addition, the facility was negatively affected by recent hurricanes, although with no major damage. It sold to a private owner/operator with a growing Texas portfolio. Read More »
Struggling SNFs Sell in the Rust Belt

Struggling SNFs Sell in the Rust Belt

Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors sold two skilled nursing facilities in the Rust Belt that had experienced some operational struggles. First, things were looking up for a 160-bed facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. After landing on the SFF list in 2014, which brought on a new third-party operator, the facility began to turn its operations (and cash flow) around by mid-2017. Built in 1965, it was renovated in 2011 to offer more private rooms and was situated only blocks from one of the largest full-service hospitals in the Milwaukee MSA. Its publicly-traded REIT owner determined the facility to be non-core and sold it to a Chicago-based investor for an undisclosed price. The buyer’s... Read More »
