Here’s hoping for smooth sailing

A 50-unit memory care community in Costa Mesa, California is hoping for a more stable, and successful, future following its recent sale to Pacifica Senior Living. Built in 1992, the community underwent a substantial $1.72 million renovation to its common areas and units in 2011. However, in the past five years, a number of operational changes damaged the facility’s brand name as each operator had different visions of how to run the property. Occupancy ultimately suffered, falling to 70% early this summer, and the community was losing money. But for Pacifica, there is plenty of upside. Rents are currently below market rates at nearby competitors, and with nearly all semi-private units... Read More »

Five years on…

Five years on…

A 94-unit senior living community in Covington, Louisiana changed hands five years after its last sale, more than doubling in value in the time. Granted, the community added a 24-unit memory care wing in 2014, which helped push the value. Nevertheless, after purchasing the community for $11 million, or $142,857 per unit, Arcadia Communities brought occupancy up from 91% to 99% in five years (even with the expansion) and nearly doubled the EBITDA. Now, the regional operator is selling the community to a national private equity firm for $22.2 million, or $236,170 per unit, with a 7% cap rate. Evans Senior Investments handled the transaction.

A graceful exit

A graceful exit
