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 »
Trustwell Living Getting Started

Trustwell Living Getting Started

Earlier this week, Larry Cohen announced the formation of his new company, Trustwell Living, LLC. As most of you know, Larry was the CEO of Capital Senior Living (CSU) for about 20 years. What you may not know is that he was very popular with his team, from EDs to the C-suite. It looks like those relationships have held, as several former CSU employees are putting their trust in Larry and joining forces once again.  This includes Greg Boemer, who spent 15 years at CSU, the last four as VP of Operations, who will be SVP of Operations. Then there is Colleen Honnors who was with the company from 2013 to 2020 as National Quality and Clinical Director, and... Read More »
Capital Senior Living Update

Capital Senior Living Update

On Wednesday we wrote about the sudden rise in the share price of Capital Senior Living, doubling in value in a couple of weeks, which usually indicates rumors of some sort of a potential capital transaction. But the only news that came out was the stockholders’ approval of a 1-for-15 reverse stock split.    What was weird was that at the annual shareholders’ meeting they were given three options. Including the one above, there was also a 1-for-10 and a 1-for-20 split, approving all three and letting the Board decide which one to go with. We have never seen that happen.  With the 1-for-15 reverse split, Capital Senior Living will now have just 2,084,596 shares... Read More »
Capital Senior Living Zooms

Capital Senior Living Zooms

After spending the summer and fall months trading at 50 to 70 cents a share, Capital Senior Living’s shares zoomed up last week. If anyone was watching the stock market last week, you had to notice that Capital Senior Living’s shares just zoomed. Since November 20, the price has almost doubled to $1.38, and last week alone they were up about 50%. Now, we do need some perspective, since the starting point was just 73 cents a share, so any movement results in an exaggerated percentage increase. Still, an increase is an increase. But why? I am sure there were some mutterings about someone buying the company. But if you do the math, it just doesn’t work. Using third quarter occupancy and... Read More »
Newmark Strikes Again, and Again

Newmark Strikes Again, and Again

We had reported a few months ago that Newmark (formerly Newmark Knight Frank) was going to have a big fourth quarter. And they have, with five sales transactions worth well in excess of $400 million, plus a few financings, and we still have a few weeks to go before the end of the year, and a few more deals.  The largest sale this quarter, which we previously reported on, was the six communities in Massachusetts that sold for about $200 million in a recap of the portfolio previously owned by Welltower. Most recently (early December), however, was one of the larger skilled nursing portfolio sales of the year. Details will be available soon, but let’s just say it will be... Read More »
