The Clare Turnaround Complete

The Clare Turnaround Complete

No one said it was going to be easy back in 2012 when an investor group took control of a large CCRC known as The Clare in downtown Chicago. Occupancy was just 34% when the community was sold out of bankruptcy, with its reputation tarnished in the local market during the high-profile proceedings. Senior Care Development (SCD), the stalking horse bidder, with Fundamental Advisors (FA) and LCS, teamed up to buy the community at auction for $53.5 million and put it on the right path to success and profitability. No small order. The stalking horse bid was a mere $29.5 million, compared with the $229 million that was spent to develop the CCRC. There were just two other bidders, and when the... Read More »
Cushman & Wakefield Closes California Sale

Cushman & Wakefield Closes California Sale

The Cushman & Wakefield team of Dave Rothschild and Mary Christian closed on the sale of an 87-unit assisted living community in California at the end of the year.

It has been operated by a large national provider, and while the financial performance could have been better, we expect it to improve with the buyer. It is the first acquisition of RBP Communities, recently founded by Blake Parsons, who went out on his own after working in the family business, Parson’s House. Although pricing information has not been publicly disclosed, we suspect it was below the national average for... Read More »
