• The Saga of Genesis HealthCare Continues

    Genesis HealthCare was once one of the largest and most successful skilled nursing companies. But it grew too quickly, made some bad investments over the years (did we mention the billion-dollar merger with The MultiCare Companies?), and it always played the leverage game, whether with leases or debt, and usually both. Last summer, it filed for... Read More »
  • Blue Moon/StepStone Finalize Large Recapitalization

    Blue Moon Capital Partners completed a large recapitalization of five seniors housing communities that it developed over the years and were the last remaining assets within its fund, Blue Moon Senior Housing I. CBRE National Senior Housing acted as transaction advisor in the recap and arranged acquisition financing for the deal. StepStone Real... Read More »
  • Evans Closes Another High-Priced SNF Sale in NV

    Just a month after selling a skilled nursing facility in Nevada for the highest per-bed value ever seen in the state, Evans Senior Investments returned to sell another facility in the Las Vegas MSA for the second-highest per-bed price. That is some momentum. Little was disclosed on the deal, but the 1970s-built facility has approximately 150... Read More »
  • Seniors Housing Communities Secure Refinances

    Berkadia recently refinanced Allegro Parkland, an independent living, assisted living and memory care community in Parkland, Florida. A joint venture between Harrison Street Asset Management and Allegro Senior Living was the borrower. The community opened in March 2020 (perhaps not the best timing) and features 61 independent living, 88 assisted... Read More »

BMO’s Busy Summer

BMO’s Busy Summer

Shunning any summer doldrums, BMO Harris Bank’s Healthcare Real Estate Finance group announced two loan closings in the last week, on the back of a $200 million facility it closed on behalf of Kayne Anderson Real Estate Advisors and Watermark Retirement Communities earlier this month. First, in Hugo, Minnesota, the group acted as sole lender in arranging an $18 million term loan to refinance a 100-unit senior living community. Keystone Senior, LLC, an owner/operator of communities across seven states, was the borrower. The group then worked on behalf of TH Real Estate (an affiliate of Nuveen, the investment management arm of TIAA) and LCS to fund their acquisition of a large CCRC in Evans,... Read More »

Rocky Mountain High

On the heels of paying more than $500,000 per unit for an 85-unit assisted living and memory care community in the suburbs of Denver, Colorado, Kayne Anderson Real Estate Advisors purchased another community from the same seller, Confluent Senior Living, this time in Fort Collins.   Given that this one opened its doors 30 months ago, we assume it went for a similar price even though the markets are different. A little smaller at 79 assisted living and memory care units, the seller’s operating partner, MorningStar Senior Living, will continue to operate it for Kayne Anderson. Confluent and MorningStar have completed seven previous projects together, in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa and New...

HFF Posts Another Texas Post-Acute Facility Sale

HFF Posts Another Texas Post-Acute Facility Sale

Having just handled the sale of a 140-bed post-acute care facility in the Austin, Texas area, HFF’s David Fasano, Ryan Maconachy and Chad Lavender represented a different owner in the sale of its 144-bed skilled nursing facility near San Antonio’s Medical Center district. Built in 2008, the facility was owned by Kayne Anderson Real Estate Advisors and leased to Senior Care Centers. There are more than 4,300 licensed hospital beds within a three-mile radius of the facility, making it a prime target. HFF procured an affiliate of O&M Investments, LLC as the buyer, which was coming off of a strong 2017 when it announced three skilled nursing acquisitions in Ohio (2) and Tennessee after...

Cushman & Wakefield Sells For Capitol Seniors Housing

Cushman & Wakefield Sells For Capitol Seniors Housing

Three and a half years after purchasing a 97-unit assisted living/memory care community in Silicon Valley (in the town of Fremont, to be more specific), Capitol Seniors Housing is exiting the asset, making a tidy return we imagine, thanks to Rick Swartz, Jay Wagner, Aaron Rosenzweig and Alex Petrosian of Cushman & Wakefield, who represented CSH in a competitive bidding process. Since acquiring the property from Westport Capital Partners in 2014 for $23.75 million, or about $244,800 per unit, CSH and its operating partner, MBK Senior Living, worked to improve the community’s occupancy, which sat at 81% in 2014, and margin, at just 19%. CSH invested upwards of $1.0 million to improve the... Read More »

Capital One Closes A Big One

Capital One flexed its banking muscles when it provided just over $551 million in financing to Kayne Anderson Real Estate Advisors (KAREA) for its purchase of Sentio Healthcare Properties. Announced back in May, the high-profile acquisition included all 34 of Sentio’s seniors housing and medical office properties, and was valued around $825 million. To fund the deal, Capital One provided KAREA a $251 million bridge loan and a $300 million Freddie Mac seniors housing revolving credit facility. We imagine a lot of time was spent on this large, complex transaction. Well done. Another Capital One deal came across the wires, albeit a little smaller than the KAREA deal. Joshua Rosen originated a... Read More »
