Ziegler and M&T Realty partnered to refinance an independent living community in Kearney, Nebraska, that is owned by Omaha-based Essex Communities.

Are More Capital Senior Living Problems Coming Due?

Capital Senior Living released its first quarter earnings this week, and the results were sort of a mixed bag. Of course, the occupancy results were great news, with April average census rising 140 basis points from the Q1 average to 76.95%. And spot occupancy increased from 75.3% at the end of February to 78.5% by the end of April, for a 320-basis point increase. We’re not sure if we’ve seen a steeper increase. About 93% of residents are now vaccinated, COVID cases fell to zero across the 60 owned communities, and 100% of communities are open to new residents, so the runway to recovery is smoother.   Looking forward, CSU will also not be encumbered by the 39...
