LTC Properties Deals With A Problem

LTC Properties Deals With A Problem

by | Aug 16, 2017 7:00 am | Opinion

By now, most everyone has heard of the problems LTC Properties has had with one of its tenants, Anthem Memory Care. The REIT has a master lease covering 11 Anthem memory care properties located in California, Illinois, Colorado and Kansas. Stand-alone memory care communities, at least those developed recently, have come under some fire as not the right way to go. LTC, for one, has decided to take a breather from financing stand-alone MC until the market stabilizes from all the new development. In Colorado and Illinois, that is the right thing to do. What many people are missing, however, is how calmly LTC is going about the problem. Sure, they issued a notice of default, which was... Read More »
Quarterly Results Are In

Quarterly Results Are In

by | Jul 28, 2017 7:00 am | Statistics

If you go by the number of transaction announced from April 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017, the second quarter may seem a bit slow, especially when compared to the recent quarterly highs of 90 deals in the second quarter of last year and of 93 deals in the fourth quarter of 2016. Keep in mind, these are preliminary numbers, as we hear of more transactions as the year goes on. M&A activity stayed virtually even in the second quarter, down 1% over the previous quarter, to 75 transactions. The quarter’s deal volume makes up 24% of the 315 deals announced within the past 12 months. Nothing too drastic there. However, based on revealed prices, approximately $9.7 billion was committed to finance... Read More »

Big Deals Are Back

by | Jun 21, 2017 7:01 am | Acquisitions, Developments

Big seniors housing and care companies are back in vogue as acquisition targets, and they are all occurring with the specter of a Brookdale Senior Living buyout looming over the market. First came Kayne Anderson Real Estate Advisors’ $825 million acquisition of Sentio Healthcare Properties and its portfolio of 34 seniors housing and medical office properties. Then, we learned of Sabra Health Care REIT and Care Capital Properties’ all-stock merger valued at nearly $4 billion. Now, in the midst of rumors that Brookdale is in exclusive talks with a Chinese investor (Zhonghong Zhuoye Group) for a potential sale valued at $3.0 billion, we learned of another major deal in the works. Columbia... Read More »
What Do The REITs Know?

What Do The REITs Know?

by | May 26, 2017 7:01 am | Acquisitions

When the Big Three healthcare REITs (Ventas, HCP and Welltower) largely divested their skilled nursing portfolios in the past few years, it prompted questions about the industry’s health. The exodus was kicked off in August 2015 by Ventas, which spun out most its skilled nursing/post-acute care portfolio into a separate REIT, Care Capital Properties (which just this month agreed to merge with Sabra Health Care REIT). Then, effective November 1, 2016, HCP followed suit, in a spin-off of its troubled HCR ManorCare assets (over 320 properties) into Quality Care Properties. Finally, after over a year of denying any such move, Welltower sold a 75% stake in 28 Genesis Healthcare-operated... Read More »
Deals Down So Far in 2017

Deals Down So Far in 2017

by | May 24, 2017 7:00 am | Opinion, Statistics

Long-term care has experienced a dip in M&A, but after nearly three straight years of 80+ transactions per quarter (starting in Q3:2014 with 83), with a couple exceptions, it is about time the M&A juggernaut slows down a bit. The first quarter’s volume fell to 76 deals, down from 93 in the previous quarter and from 84 in the year-ago quarter. And as of May 23, 2017, deal volume has so far not kept pace compared with the same period in 2016 with just 118 long-term care transactions recorded compared with 145 in 2016, a 19% difference. However, spending has nearly doubled (to $7.52 billion so far in 2017 from $4.37 billion in 2016), thanks to a few large deals that were announced in... Read More »
