60 Seconds with Ben Swett: Competition For Deals in an Active M&A Market

by | Jun 29, 2021 4:32 pm | 60 Seconds

We’re not sure we have ever seen a month like this when it seemed that institutional buyers were racing to see who could announce the biggest deal. First was Welltower’s acquisition of 22 Pathway to Living communities, then came Harrison Street’s $1.2 billion purchase of 24 Oakmont communities, then Atria Senior Living acquired Holiday Retirement and Welltower jumped back in again, acquiring Holiday’s owned portfolio of 86 properties. Next, we had the Griffin American REITs 3 and 4 merging, and finally, at least of this filming, Ventas will pay $2.3 billion to purchase New Senior Investment Group. It has been a dizzying display of strength from these institutional buyers, and we are... Read More »

60 Seconds with Ben Swett: M&A Hits a High in 2021

by | Jun 22, 2021 10:22 pm | 60 Seconds, Opinion

When it rains, it pours in senior care M&A. First, we noticed a significant uptick in deal activity this month, with over 30 transactions announced since June 1st. Not December’s level of activity, but we’ll take it. Then, Harrison Street announced the largest purchase in the industry in two years, spending $1.2 billion on 24 Oakmont communities. But yesterday, when we were still digesting the sale of former SNF giant Kindred Healthcare to LifePoint, Welltower made the biggest splash of all, buying Holiday Retirement’s owned portfolio of 86 independent living properties for $1.58 billion. Not only that, but Atria Senior Living will acquire the operating business of Holiday for an... Read More »

Harrison Street Announces the Largest Seniors Housing Deal Since 2019

by | Jun 10, 2021 5:06 pm | Acquisitions

In the June issue of The SeniorCare Investor, we wondered when private equity would get off the M&A sidelines in a major way, with so much dry powder available to them. On cue, Harrison Street Real Estate Capital announced the largest seniors housing and care deal in two years, spending approximately $1.2 billion on a portfolio of 24 assisted living/memory care communities in California and Nevada. The portfolio totals 2,195 units, resulting in a per-unit price of $546,700 per unit.  Oakmont Management Group operated the whole portfolio, Healthpeak Properties owned half of the properties and California-based real estate developer Gallaher...

Healthpeak Properties Nears Seniors Housing Exit

Healthpeak Properties Nears Seniors Housing Exit

by | May 5, 2021 10:08 am | Acquisitions

Healthpeak Properties has nearly completed its exit from the rental seniors housing business, selling another $1 billion of assets in the first quarter of 2021, according to its latest earnings release. This comes after approximately $2.5 billion of seniors housing dispositions in the fourth quarter of 2020, so they are clearly antsy to get out.   The latest tranche of divestments included 12 properties in PEAK’s SHOP portfolio operated by Oakmont Senior Living and totaling 1,043 units. At $564 million, or $540,750 per unit, it represents the largest deal of the quarter. And considering Healthpeak’s haste to get out, commanding that sort of per-unit... Read More »
