Three years after buying a 207-unit independent living community in Riverside, California, Capitol Seniors Housing (CSH) is refinancing it, at a much higher value. The private investment firm bought Olive Grove (now Welbrook Arlington) in August 2013 for $16.25 million, or $76,651 per unit. Back then, the property consisted of two independent living buildings that were built in 1980 and 1984. Occupancy was only in the high-60% range, with average IL monthly rates of about $1,600.

We wrote in the October issue of The SeniorCare Investor, of CBRE’s Lisa Widmier and Matt Whitlock’s sale of two assisted living/memory care communities in Georgia. Located in the greater Atlanta area, the communities were owned by Capitol Seniors Housing and purchased by Arcapita Investment Management US. There is a third property involved in the sale, a 74-unit assisted living/memory care community in the Washington D.C. MSA.

For all three combined in the current 2016 transaction, the total price is expected to be close to $325,000 per unit. Well done. Read More »
