CareTrust REIT Closes Three SNF Deals
CareTrust REIT clearly didn’t get that “Labor Day” is supposed to be a day of relaxation, not of, well, labor. Until the start of September, CareTrust had only announced four transactions, compared with the 13 announced in all of 2016. But the REIT ended summer with a bang, announcing three acquisitions comprising 13 total skilled nursing facilities and 1,232 total beds. CareTrust made its biggest splash in the Pacific Northwest and doubled its investment in two deals with its operating partner Cascadia Healthcare, LLC. The first transaction involved seven skilled nursing facilities and 571 beds located throughout Idaho, although the deal has only partially closed so far. It is supposed to... Read More »
CareTrust REIT Grows In Minnesota
Prelude Homes & Services has proven to be the gateway to the Minnesota senior living market for CareTrust REIT, which just exercised its option to purchase a second stand-alone memory care community in the Minneapolis-area from Prelude. Three years ago, CareTrust entered the state when it bought Prelude’s three-year old, 28-unit MC community in Woodbury for $7.2 million, or $257,140 per unit. CareTrust leased the community back to Prelude for an initial 15-year term with CPI-based escalators, two five-year renewal options, 8.25% initial cash yield and a lease coverage ratio of 1.3x. The REIT also received a purchase option on a memory care development in White Bear Lake. The Woodbury... Read More »
Public Companies Spring Into Action This June
Public companies have made a statement so far in June, with a couple of REITs, one publicly traded operator and two foreign firms announcing acquisitions this week. First, across our border, Ontario-based Sienna Senior Living added one more Ontario retirement community to its portfolio. The 70-unit community in the town of Kingston sold for approximately $7.27 million, or $103,860 per unit.

The Senior Assist group sold the facilities, five of which opened in the last 18 months. Now to... Read More »
What Do The REITs Know?
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 »Schedule a demo
