Quarterly Results Are In

by | Jul 28, 2017 7:00 am | Statistics

If you go by the number of transaction announced from April 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017, the second quarter may seem a bit slow, especially when compared to the recent quarterly highs of 90 deals in the second quarter of last year and of 93 deals in the fourth quarter of 2016. Keep in mind, these are preliminary numbers, as we hear of more transactions as the year goes on. M&A activity stayed virtually even in the second quarter, down 1% over the previous quarter, to 75 transactions. The quarter’s deal volume makes up 24% of the 315 deals announced within the past 12 months. Nothing too drastic there. However, based on revealed prices, approximately $9.7 billion was committed to finance... Read More »

Build up downtown

by | Mar 16, 2016 8:30 am | Developments

We have heard from some that there is a huge opportunity for urban seniors housing, with more seniors, and eventually (and we mean years down the road) desiring to live in a downtown setting, surrounded by shops, restaurants and entertainment outside of their own building. A few examples of developers looking to satisfy this in a big way are The Clare of Water Tower (the 53-story CCRC in Chicago that cost approximately $270 million to build) and Maplewood Senior Living’s latest development in Manhattan (with 20 stories and 214 units at a cost of $246 million), to name a couple. Columbia Pacific Advisors, a Seattle-based alternative investment firm, is now planning a 24-story, 237-unit... Read More »
