Evans Senior Investments Handles Texas Transaction
Evans Senior Investments closed yet another Texas transaction this year, a month after closing a three-property, 221-unit assisted living portfolio sale there for $45 million. The firm represented an institutional group based on the East Coast in its divestment of a 77-unit assisted living/memory care community in the town of Missouri City (Houston MSA). The purchase price came to $14.35 million, or $186,000 per unit, which is below average for the sector, especially for a new community (it was built in 2010).

Evans Senior Investments arranged the most recent: the purchase of a 64-unit assisted living community that is nearly all private pay but could improve its 81% occupancy. Built in 2001 and renovated in 2007, the community was owned by Living Care Senior Housing Development and is located on about four acres just outside of Dallas, in the town of Frisco. In addition to census, operations could also improve, with just a 12.5% margin on $2.65 million of revenues. There is... Read More »
