CBRE Settles Oklahoma Sale

CBRE Settles Oklahoma Sale

CBRE’s Daniel Morris, working out of the Oklahoma City office, sold a 120-unit assisted living community in Bethany, Oklahoma for $4.4 million, or $36,700 per unit. Settling an estate, the original developer sold the community, which was only 60% occupied and losing money at closing. The buyer, a local investor group, will oversee an extensive $1.0-$1.5 million cosmetic renovation to the property and may convert one of the two stand-alone buildings to either high-acuity assisted living or memory care. Assuming there is a market for those residents, that should help increase the community’s value. Read More »
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 »
CBRE Finds Financing With Freddie Mac

CBRE Finds Financing With Freddie Mac

Aron Will of CBRE worked with Freddie Mac for his two latest transactions, and crisscrossed the country to do so. First, with Andrew Behrens of CBRE Multifamily Institutional Group, Mr. Will closed a $29.8 million financing for a 144-unit senior living community in Escondido, California (San Diego MSA). Purchased in 2012 by Westmont Living, the community underwent a three-year capital improvement project that involved adding a 22-unit memory care wing. It clearly worked, as occupancy stands at 92% for the property. Westmont received a 10-year, fixed-rate loan with 60 months of interest only payments. Then, to Cincinnati, Ohio, where Mr. Will arranged acquisition financing (again through... Read More »
Aron Will Closes Two More Financings

Aron Will Closes Two More Financings

Heading into the Thanksgiving holiday, Aron Will of CBRE certainly had a bountiful month, closing nearly $80 million in two transactions. First, working on behalf of joint venture partners Harrison Street Real Estate Capital and The Springs Living®, Mr. Will arranged a $66.4 million construction loan to fund the construction of a 216-unit senior living community in Lake Oswego, Oregon (Portland MSA). A pair of national banks provided the floating rate loan, which came with a four-year term and 48 months of interest only. Using a conservative loan-to-value for the project, that would result in a per-unit value most likely above $400,000. The property’s location in one of the most affluent... Read More »
