OH-Based Buyer Purchases Pittsburgh-Area SNF

OH-Based Buyer Purchases Pittsburgh-Area SNF

An Ohio-based owner/operator bought a Pittsburgh-area skilled nursing facility in a deal arranged by Evans Senior Investments. Built in 1995 and maintaining a four-star rating, this 120-bed facility was locally owned and operated. However, this was the seller’s only skilled nursing facility, and occupancy stood at just 72%. High expenses also resulted in barely $50,000 of NOI on about $8.93 million of revenues, and performance was declining.   So, Evans ran a confidential marketing process to a group of regional owner/operators and obtained six competitive offers within 30 days. An Ohio-based owner/operator wishing to grow its presence in Pennsylvania ended up as the buyer,... Read More »

At the time of marketing, average occupancy was around 78%, with total revenues... Read More »
CIBC Bank Funds Indiana SNF Acquisition

CIBC Bank Funds Indiana SNF Acquisition

CIBC Bank USA facilitated acquisition financing for a regional operator’s purchase of 11 senior care facilities in Indiana. If this deal sounds familiar, that’s because it is part of the larger 21-facility portfolio sale announced by Evans Senior Investments last week. Matthew Tyler and Daniela Miranda of CIBC closed the $51.2 million loan for a regional operator, which purchased the facilities from a local operator. The loan comes with a five-year term on the real estate, and a $5.0 million revolving line of credit was provided to support working capital needs.  The portfolio consists of 751 skilled nursing beds and 109 assisted living units. Those 11 facilities have an effective... Read More »

Evans Senior Investments Announces Two Deals

Evans Senior Investments kicked off the fourth quarter with a couple of deals involving seniors housing properties. The first involved a 154-unit campus in Cottage Grove, Wisconsin that has grown over the last 15 years to include 60 independent living, 70 assisted living and 24 memory care units.

Evans Senior Investments Wraps Up Michigan Portfolio Sale

Evans Senior Investments kicked off June with the sale of a seniors housing/skilled nursing portfolio in Michigan.

Built in 1997, 2007 and 2008, the senior living portion of the portfolio was 100% private pay, while the skilled nursing census boasted a high mix of Medicare patients.
