Riverside Refinance

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. CSH clearly saw potential in the property, and invested between $5.5 and $6.0 million to convert one building to assisted living and memory care and add a separate dining room to that building (to be serviced by...

Adding upside in DC

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. Just like the other two properties, CSH had purchased this property 2014 for $14.1 million, or just under $200,000 unit. 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 »

From the rumor mill

We have heard that a joint venture between Capitol Seniors Housing and Formation-Shelbourne Partners may have sold an assisted living and memory care community outside of Philadelphia to a private equity firm. Pricing has not been disclosed yet, but we understand that it could have been close to $400,000 per unit for the newly built community. Lisa Widmier and Matthew Whitlock of CBRE represented the seller, and Aron Will of CBRE arranged a five-year floating rate loan for the buyer, with three years of interest only. It looks like this is a case of buying a state-of-the-art community in a good market. Details to follow. Read More »
