by | May 6, 2015 7:27 pm | Acquisitions

How do you sell a 24-unit assisted living community for over $370,800 per unit? Just throw in a nine-hole golf course and a clubhouse! That is just what David Rothschild and Mary Christian of CBRE did in selling a property for Icahn Enterprises in Vero Beach, Florida. The sale included a 42,000 square foot clubhouse, a nine-hole golf course and a 24-unit assisted living building (24,000 square feet) that can be expanded to 48 units.

by | Apr 22, 2015 7:44 pm | Acquisitions, Financings

Aron Will of CBRE National Senior Housing arranged a trifecta of acquisition financings totaling approximately $50 million.

Next, Mr. Will secured a $21 million loan with an “all-in” interest rate of approximately 2.35% for a joint venture between Sentio Healthcare Properties and Senior Living Residences to purchase a 122-unit/141-bed rental CCRC in Westfield, Massachusetts.

The end of the Sunwest Management saga

by | Apr 1, 2015 8:03 pm | Acquisitions, Financings

At long last, the end of a saga. The final Sunwest Management properties of the portfolio purchased by Lone Star, have been sold, and it was somewhat of a unique sale. For reasons that are too detailed to discuss, the properties were the last ones in a private REIT established years ago by the seller, and the sale had to be the purchase of the entity as opposed to the purchase of the outright real estate. SilverStone Health Care Real Estate figured out a way to get it done, and they closed on this portfolio for about $112,000 per unit. The portfolio included a 340-unit IL/AL/MC campus in the Peoria/Sun City area of Arizona and a 148-unit AL/MC community in Yuma, Arizona. The total purchase... Read More »
