Cushman & Wakefield Sells CCRC Portfolio

Cushman & Wakefield Sells CCRC Portfolio

It is amazing what patience, capital, expertise and desire can do to change things around for a few bankrupt entrance-fee CCRCs. We are referring to Sedgebrook in Lincolnshire, Illinois and Monarch Landing in Naperville, Illinois that fell into bankruptcy in 2010 and were sold in an auction process for a combined total of about $39.25 million. They had been built by the former Erickson Retirement Communities, which itself filed for bankruptcy protection after problems with too much debt and too many new units to fill during the Great Recession, although these two CCRCs were outside the corporate bankruptcy. Monarch Landing was supposed to be built with 1,498 IL units, 84 AL units and 132... Read More »

Cushman & Wakefield’s Carolina Sale

Cushman & Wakefield’s Carolina Sale

For the second time, Prudential Real Estate Investors is selling its large senior living community in Cary, North Carolina, 14 years after the first sale. Originally built in 1999 with 80 independent living units, 36 assisted living units and 36 memory care units, the community has been operated by Kisco Senior Living since its development. During that time, Kisco has overseen several ownership changes, starting in 2004, when Prudential Real Estate Investors sold the community to Walton Street Capital for about $27.4 million, or $180,000 per unit. Walton Street added 14 IL cottages with 24 units in 2008-2009, perhaps not the best time for an IL addition. Nevertheless, Walton Street resold... Read More »
