Summer Sales at Senior Living Investment Brokerage

Senior Living Investment Brokerage ended July with two closings. First, a family owner that had operated a pair of Texas skilled nursing facilities for decades recently decided to sell to an independent owner/operator based in the Waco area for $9.35 million, or about $38,000 per bed. Built in 1978 and 1964, respectively, the 131-bed facility in Pasadena was 88% occupied while the 115-bed facility in Mineola was 78% occupied. Combined, the pair brought in approximately $460,000 in EBITDA on $11.95 million of revenues, so the buyer will look to improve that 4% operating margin. Matthew Alley of Senior Living Investment Brokerage handled the transaction. Mr. Punzel also closed the sale (with... Read More »
