The Yankees are coming

Winchester, Virginia was the most fought-over town during the American Civil War, changing hands between the North and South as many as 72 times. Now, in a bloodless affair, a 75-unit assisted living community in town has a new owner (New York City-based Care Investment Trust), to the tune of $9.38 million, or $125,067 per unit, with a 7.4% cap rate. The community has undergone expansions since opening in 1990, including a 35-unit addition in 2008, and today includes 73 AL units and two independent living cottages. Both occupancy and the operating margin can be improved, with both standing at 83% and 22%, respectively. Also, monthly rates, ranging from $2,500 to $2,900 for semi-privates,... Read More »

A regional owner/operator already with seven senior living communities located throughout California recently added another one to its portfolio. Sacramento-based Ray Stone Inc. bought a 102-unit independent living community in Redding, California, which was owned by a local operator.

HCP boosts seniors housing holdings

Just as HCP, Inc. is about to spin off its large skilled nursing portfolio into a new REIT, it has closed a smaller, but large in today’s M&A market, acquisition of a portfolio of seven assisted living and memory care communities with 526 units in Maryland and Virginia. The price was $186.25 million, which comes in at $354,400 per unit, much higher than the average price per unit of $198,000 for the past four quarters, but near the levels we have been seeing for some good portfolios of late. The properties were built between 1993 and 2013, and talking to other buyers it appears that occupancy was not quite stabilized, so there should be room for improvement for the new operator, Senior...
