  • Berkadia Handles Detroit-Area Deal

    Berkadia closed the sale of Oakleigh of Macomb, an 85-unit assisted living/memory care community in Macomb, Michigan (Detroit MSA). Built in 2019, the community has 55 assisted living and 30 memory care units. It was 91% occupied, so given its vintage and performance, we imagine it attracted significant investor interest. Berkadia represented the... Read More »

Building in Tampa Bay Area

The Tampa Bay seniors housing market continues to grow, marked most recently by a brand-new assisted living and memory care community developed by Pridgen Development and equity investor Lindell Investments, called Tessera of Brandon.

Solvere Senior Living Builds In Its Own Backyard

Solvere Senior Living is following up on a busy 2017 with a new 195-unit seniors housing development in Hamilton Township, New Jersey, at a cost of nearly $60 million, or just over $300,000 per unit. Opening next month, the community will feature 96 independent living, 75 assisted living and 24 memory care units, with a host of amenities and dining options.

The opening comes on the heels of several other projects that Solvere has in its pipeline with a number of development partners. It... Read More »

CBRE Sells A Second First Centrum Independent Living Community

CBRE sold another First Centrum independent living community in Virginia, a couple of years after selling the developer’s 118-unit Glen Allen (Richmond MSA) community for $25.88 million, or $219,280 per unit. The latest deal featured a 120-unit community in Williamsburg. Built in 2010 by First Centrum, it features a range of unit options, from 660- to 940-square foot one bedroom units to 880- to 1,267-SF two-bedroom suites.

Operations were strong, with a near-50% margin, and it was well-occupied, at 94%, which was certainly helped by the property’s location near historic Colonial... Read More »

Solvere’s Southeast Strategy

Through a number of partnerships, Solvere Senior Living expanded its presence in three states by taking over management of three to-be-built assisted living/memory care communities in Florida (2) and Texas, and two existing independent living communities in Virginia.

However, by the end of 2018, Solvere expects to add five more properties to its portfolio. Lindell Investments, Inc. partnered with Solvere to develop the communities... Read More »
CBRE Sells A Second First Centrum Independent Living Community

Detroit Dealmaking

Green Courte Partners, a Chicago-based private equity firm, has been one active acquirer in the independent living market, when few other buyers have been investing in the sector. Even though the IL market has been a huge factor in pushing average seniors housing prices to record-highs average (peaking at an average of $248,300 per unit in the four quarters ended March 31, 2016), its share of M&A has been shrinking in the last couple of years. Nevertheless, Green Courte has acquired five IL properties in the last year. Its most recent transaction involved a portfolio of three IL communities located in the Detroit MSA, which it purchased for an undisclosed price. All totaling 371 units,... Read More »
