Dealing in Dallas

Dealing in Dallas

We’ve all heard the warnings of overdevelopment in Texas, particularly of new assisted living and memory care communities. One of those MSAs that has seen plenty of groundbreakings is Dallas, with nearly 5,000 units built from Q4 2012 to Q4 2016, according to NIC MAP. While the market is in better shape than Austin, Houston and San Antonio in terms of construction versus inventory, occupancy has been consistently low in Dallas, hovering around 85% for the past few years. We wonder how well those new communities have been filling up. That was probably on the mind of an out-of-state buyer when it purchased a recently built assisted living/memory care community in Allen, Texas, an affluent... Read More »

Located in Flower Mound, the community was just built in 2015 with 58 assisted living and 34 memory care units, and is already nearly fully occupied with a strong cash flow on top of that. CSH paid $26 million, or $282,600 per unit, for the property. Based on trailing-three month... Read More »
