Healthcare Trust Buys in San Diego

Healthcare Trust Buys in San Diego

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Healthcare Trust Inc. as a buyer in the seniors housing market. Well, the public, non-traded REIT has acquired a 91-unit/117-bed senior living community in San Diego, California, for an undisclosed price. There are 53 assisted living and 38 memory care units (64 beds) in the two-story building, which was built in 2015 on a 4.3-acre site. The quality of the building is apparently quite high, and the community was over 90% occupied. Rick Swartz, Jay Wagner, Aaron Rosenzweig, Dan Baker, Tim Hosmer and Bailey Nygard made up the Cushman & Wakefield team that served as exclusive advisor to the seller, Torrey Pines Development Group.

Quick Acquisition Potential

Quick Acquisition Potential

Details are not in abundance, but if you have the cash and the ability, there are up to four memory care facilities in the Houston, Texas market that are available for a quick sale. Here’s the issue. Bids are due by August 16, and the closing must be by August 30. That means no financing contingencies, probably no third-party reports in time. The sellers are the banks, and Cushman & Wakefield was just hired to complete this task, as impossible as it may sound. The good news is that the lenders have to sell, and while we have not heard an asking price, we assume you will get them at well below original construction cost. We believe they were all built between 2011 and 2015, but... Read More »
