Healthpeak Properties Completes More Sales

Healthpeak Properties Completes More Sales

As the healthcare REITs start their quarterly reporting season, of course all eyes will be on the occupancy trend, which for most of them will not be so great. But one aspect about what is happening, and often little noticed, is that the news is showing that the demand for seniors housing assets is still quite strong, pandemic be damned.   Obviously, Healthpeak Properties would rather not be selling off its seniors housing portfolios, especially if they had been performing well, since in years past they provided the highest yield to support the REIT’s dividend and growth. But performance had suffered, and the decision was made to sell. No one is crying for them,... Read More »

Carnegie Capital Finances Western Seniors Housing Deal

Carnegie Capital Finances Western Seniors Housing Deal

JD Stettin of Carnegie Capital announced a couple of loan closings that funded the acquisition of two senior living communities in Montana and Wyoming. If that deal sounds familiar, it’s because we covered Senior Living Investment Brokerage’s involvement in it earlier this week.   Totaling a combined 107 units, split between 61 independent living and 46 assisted living units, the deal included a community built in 1995 in Cody, Wyoming and one in Great Falls, Montana that opened in 2003. They’re in good condition and reported positive cash flow, but occupancy could be improved, currently sitting at 72% at the Cody location and 87% in Great Falls. Both... Read More »

Brookdale’s Census Continues To Tumble

Brookdale’s Census Continues To Tumble

Although not unexpected, occupancy levels at Brookdale Senior Living have continued to decline, much like the rest of the industry. But with Brookdale, occupancy at the end of December had tumbled to 71.5%, a 160-basis point decline from the end of November. This was the worst month-to-month decline since the end of April to May period, which was 150 basis points. The worst month came in April 2020 when the drop was 220 basis points. That was the previous COVID height, but the numbers nationally today are much worse. Average occupancy in December declined by 150 basis points to 71.5%.  We are not sure what to expect after the Christmas and New Year’s holidays and the associated spike in... Read More »
