• The Saga of Genesis HealthCare Continues

    Genesis HealthCare was once one of the largest and most successful skilled nursing companies. But it grew too quickly, made some bad investments over the years (did we mention the billion-dollar merger with The MultiCare Companies?), and it always played the leverage game, whether with leases or debt, and usually both. Last summer, it filed for... Read More »

  • Evans Closes Another High-Priced SNF Sale in NV

    Just a month after selling a skilled nursing facility in Nevada for the highest per-bed value ever seen in the state, Evans Senior Investments returned to sell another facility in the Las Vegas MSA for the second-highest per-bed price. That is some momentum. Little was disclosed on the deal, but the 1970s-built facility has approximately 150... Read More »

Inland Private Capital Corporation Makes First Seniors Housing Acquisition

Inland Private Capital Corporation Makes First Seniors Housing Acquisition

As part of its larger disposition/restructuring strategy, Capital Senior Living Corporation announced in its third quarter earnings report that it sold two non-core independent living communities in Peoria, Illinois and Springfield, Missouri, generating some healthy proceeds in the process. The communities sold for a combined $64.75 million, or nearly $205,000 per unit, resulting in $14.8 million of net cash proceeds and $44.4 million of mortgage debt off its books. Tim Cobb and Sabel Kaminski of Berkadia represented CSL in the transaction. Both built in the late-1990s and totaling around 215 units, these communities were both over 90% occupied, but rent growth was sluggish. They were in... Read More »
Evans Senior Investments Closes One In Their Backyard

Evans Senior Investments Closes One In Their Backyard

It is not often that a seniors housing brokerage firm can sell a community in their home town, but the Boulder, Colorado office of Evans Senior Investments was hired to sell a 54-unit independent living community in Boulder. The community, built in 2007, has been averaging an occupancy rate of 93% to 94%, but may have been slightly higher at closing. That high occupancy rate might have something to do with the fact that the majority of the units have two-bedrooms and the majority have more than 1,000 square feet inside the units. Rates range from about $3,000 to $4,500. With an operating margin close to 50%, this must be a very well-run community, since it is also quite small for... Read More »
