What’s Up With 55-plus Communities?
A sector we have not traditionally covered but has been receiving more and more attention lately is the 55-plus senior apartment market. The property type does not feature the services like a common dining room (with a meal plan) or laundry that distinguishes independent living from strictly senior apartments, and so, it fell out of our “senior care” scope. However, with so much attention diverted to assisted living and memory care in recent years by many in the industry, some (both veterans and newcomers alike) are betting that the senior apartments sector is the perfect low-profile investment that still takes advantage of the Baby Boomer wave inching towards retirement age and beyond....

Giannini Closes Savage Senior Living Deal
Ray Giannini of Marcus & Millichap’s Milwaukee, Wisconsin office, along with Associate John Klement, worked on behalf of a local developer to sell a 94-unit senior living community in Savage, Minnesota (Minneapolis MSA). Why sell a community that since opening in 2015 has seen occupancy soar up to 94% and operating margin stabilize at just over 35% on about $4.2 million of revenues? The seller, which has previously developed a number of seniors housing co-ops in the area, hopes to take the proceeds of this successful transaction to further grow its business in the Minneapolis market.

Ray’s Latest Racine Closing
Ray Giannini of Marcus & Millichap facilitated the sale of a county-owned skilled nursing facility in Racine, Wisconsin (about 30 miles south of Milwaukee). Purpose-built in 1986, the 200-bed facility was 85% occupied, which is above average for the SNF industry, and features a good Medicare and private pay census. But, it was operating at a loss at the time of closing. The purchase price came to $10 million, or $50,000 per bed. For more information on this deal, check out the October issue of The SeniorCare Investor early next month. Read More »Mike Pardoll’s Got Georgia On His Mind
Mike Pardoll of Marcus & Millichap has been especially prolific of late in the state of Georgia, closing three skilled nursing sales there this summer. A group of Georgia investors accounted for two of the deals, purchasing two facilities from a not-for-profit owner. Located in Cochran, one of the facilities was built in 1966 with 75 beds. It is 93% occupied, with a 74% Medicaid, 19% private pay and 7% Medicare census, and operated at a 15% margin. It sold for $5.7 million, or $76,000 per bed, with a 12.6% cap rate. The other facility, in Thomaston, was built in 1966 and 1986. Based on 106 total beds, it is 80% occupied, with an 81% Medicaid, 11% private pay and 8% Medicare census, and...
