Capitol Seniors Housing Constructs

Capitol Seniors Housing has made it clear that it sees a great opportunity in the 55+ active adult space, but assisted living still has a place in its investment strategy, of course. The private equity firm just broke ground on a brand-new 86-unit assisted living/memory care community in Fulton, Maryland (about halfway between Washington, D.C. and Baltimore). At a cost of $27.5 million, or about $320,000 per unit (high for the area-average of $233,000 per unit, according to our in-house database), the community will be operated by The Arbor Company upon completion, which is expected in late-2018.

Cushman & Wakefield Sells For Capitol Seniors Housing

Cushman & Wakefield Sells For Capitol Seniors Housing

Three and a half years after purchasing a 97-unit assisted living/memory care community in Silicon Valley (in the town of Fremont, to be more specific), Capitol Seniors Housing is exiting the asset, making a tidy return we imagine, thanks to Rick Swartz, Jay Wagner, Aaron Rosenzweig and Alex Petrosian of Cushman & Wakefield, who represented CSH in a competitive bidding process. Since acquiring the property from Westport Capital Partners in 2014 for $23.75 million, or about $244,800 per unit, CSH and its operating partner, MBK Senior Living, worked to improve the community’s occupancy, which sat at 81% in 2014, and margin, at just 19%. CSH invested upwards of $1.0 million to improve the... Read More »

Capitol Seniors Housing Builds Its Portfolio

Washington, D.C.-based Capitol Seniors Housing headed up the coast to build a brand-new assisted living/memory care community in Shrewsbury, New Jersey, an affluent suburb of New York City. The firm utilized an existing operating partner, Chelsea Senior Living, which already operates 10 senior living communities in the Mid-Atlantic on behalf of CSH, to third-party manage the new 85-unit community. To finance the project, Aron Will of CBRE arranged a $16.75 million, non-recourse loan with a floating-rate term from a regional bank. The five-year term includes 48 months of interest only. Construction cost is estimated at $29.3 million, or about $345,000 per unit. That is $100,000 per unit... Read More »
A Flowering Relationship

A Flowering Relationship

Capitol Seniors Housing (CSH) is expanding its assets in Texas through a new operating relationship with Civitas Senior Living, which has lately been known for its development activity in the Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin markets. While we have not been alone in voicing concerns about overbuilding in these markets, the target property for CSH (developed by Civitas in the DFW MSA) clearly has not felt the effects. Located in Flower Mound, the community was just built in 2015 with 58 assisted living and 34 memory care units, and is already nearly fully occupied with a strong cash flow on top of that. CSH paid $26 million, or $282,600 per unit, for the property. Based on trailing-three month... Read More »
