KeyBank Plays Key Role In Record Oregon Acquisition

A few weeks ago, we reported the closing of the highest-priced single-asset seniors housing sale in the state of Oregon.

Blueprint Handles Record Sale In Oregon

We just recorded the highest-priced single-asset seniors housing sale in the state of Oregon, in a transaction handled by Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors’ Dan Mahoney, Jacob Gehl and Blake Bozett. The target is located in Portland and was originally developed in 1992 by the current seller. Also renovated in 2000, the community features 286 units of independent living, assisted living and memory care.

We have also estimated it operated at a roughly 45% margin on approximately $13 million of in-place revenues. Strategic Student & Senior... Read More »
