The Sabra-Genesis Sales Keep On Coming

Many of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors’ closings this year have featured a publicly traded REIT divesting skilled nursing facilities (a theme in the past year), which was yet again the impetus for its latest deal. Christopher Hyldahl, Ben Firestone, Gideon Orion and Michael Segal worked on behalf of Sabra Health Care REIT to sell a portfolio of 12 skilled nursing facilities in New Hampshire (7) and Florida (5).

Strawberry Fields Grows In Kentucky

Kentucky’s largest not-for-profit senior living and long-term care provider, Christian Care Communities, worked with Ben Firestone and Michael Segal of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors to sell its 92-bed skilled nursing facility in Louisville. Ideally located near multiple hospitals and other referral sources, the facility was originally built in 1962, but was recently renovated in both 2012 and 2014. Occupancy was around 81%, but trailing cash flows were negative, prompting Blueprint to position the asset as a value-add opportunity. For a purchase price of $6.5 million, the facility ultimately sold to Strawberry Fields REIT, which leased it to Landmark Group to operate. The deal... Read More »
