Going up in downtown
A well operating CCRC in Buffalo, New York looking to expand needed quick financing to take advantage of building a new independent living campus on the site of a former acute care hospital in downtown Buffalo. Built in 1999 by Episcopal Church Home & Affiliates, the CCRC features 243 IL units and patio homes, as well as enriched housing and skilled nursing beds. Over the years, it has consistently enjoyed high occupancy across all levels of care under its not-for-profit management. HJ Sims has had a relationship with the CCRC since providing seed capital for its initial development in 1996, and so was a natural fit to finance this new expansion project. After site demolition and... Read More »Handing over the reins
The joint venture owner of a 283-unit entrance fee CCRC in Brentwood, Tennessee recently reshuffled its ownership, with a minority stakeholder acquiring the 70% share from partner and co-developer, Westminster Capital. Back in 2007, Westminster, Harpeth Green Properties (the current buyer) and LCS developed the community on nearly 50 acres. It featured 217 independent living units, a 66-bed skilled nursing facility and a stand-alone adult day care building. Plus, an additional phase of development is scheduled to start sometime in the next year, and will include 97 more IL units, a 350-seat auditorium and an 11,000-square foot health center. LCS’s affiliate, Life Care Services, operates... Read More »
Turn around…again
When Platinum Healthcare purchased a 197-unit CCRC in Cincinnati, Ohio in September 2014 for $3 million, the community had already posted a $1.5 million loss on $5.9 million of revenues in 2013. This was even after the previous owner, Deaconess Long-Term Care, invested $918,000 in capital improvements in the last two years of owning it. The CCRC was over 63% occupied (its skilled nursing was 87% occupied, while assisted and independent living were just under 50% occupied, both with high Medicaid censuses). Now, Platinum is selling the community, which still is just 62% occupied overall and losing over $1 million on approximately $6.1 million of 2014 revenues. The purchase price this time...

A project already with a few false starts recently received bond financing to fund pre-development costs for a new 182-unit CCRC in Greenville, North Carolina. Back in 2005, not-for-profit developer Retirement Living Associates (RLA) began marketing its impending development, an entrance fee CCRC with 150 independent living units, 12 IL cottages, eight assisted living units and 12 skilled nursing beds. In fact, the company obtained over 280 depositors, 47 of which submitted 10% deposits, by 2007. However, the Great Recession threw a rather large wrench in those plans, and the project was only revived at the end of last year. Now, to fund the start of this development, HJ Sims sold $14.825...
