KeyBank Plays Key Role In Record Oregon Acquisition

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. Now, we’ve learned that KeyBank Real Estate Capital financed it with a $63.2 million Freddie Mac loan, which Charlie Shoop arranged with a fixed rate, 10-year term, four years of interest only and a 30-year amortization period. Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors handled the sale on behalf of the original developer/owner, eventually securing a $92 million, or $321,700 per unit, purchase price from the buyer, Strategic Student & Senior Housing Trust. That represented a 6.4% cap rate based on estimated trailing EBITDAR. Integral Senior Living, the property’s... Read More »
Blueprint Handles Record Sale In 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. Integral Senior Living has managed it since 2011, and managed it well, apparently, as it was 94% occupied with a 100% private pay census. We have also estimated it operated at a roughly 45% margin on approximately $13 million of in-place revenues. Strategic Student & Senior... Read More »
