Evans Finds The Solution

Evans Finds The Solution

Evans Senior Investments (ESI) closed on the sale of two properties in New York known as the Robinson Terrace Portfolio. It included a 120-bed skilled nursing facility that was built in Samford in 1973, and a 55-unit assisted living community built in 2011 two miles away. Despite the rural location, occupancy had been relatively high, above 90% at both facilities.   The problem, however, was the cost structure and the fact that the Medicaid census was high in both properties. The campus was owned and operated by a not-for-profit, and maybe because they were the low-cost providers in the area, the EBITA margin was a negative 20% or worse. High staffing costs combined with low Medicaid... Read More »

CBRE Finances Willows of Easley

Chicago Pacific Founders turned to Aron Will of CBRE to arrange financing for its latest acquisition in Easley, South Carolina. We reported last month that Evans Senior Investments had represented the independent owner/operator in its sale of a 100-unit independent/assisted living community.

ESI Closes Easley Transaction

ESI Closes Easley Transaction

Evans Senior Investments found a new owner for a well-operating independent/assisted living community in Easley, South Carolina.

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 »
