Double whammy from Cassie and Mahoney

Double whammy from Cassie and Mahoney

The team of Tony Cassie and Dan Mahoney from Marcus & Millichap recently closed two skilled nursing transactions out West. First up, and the smaller of the two, a regional operator purchased an 88-bed facility in Ogden, Utah, for $7.5 million, or $85,227 per bed, with a 10.7% cap rate. Messrs. Cassie and Mahoney, along with McSean Thompson, represented both the buyer and seller, a Salt Lake City-based operator. That same group handled the sale of a 165-bed skilled nursing facility in Seattle, Washington.

Kaukauna closing

Ray Giannini of Marcus & Millichap went to Kaukauna, Wisconsin to close his latest transaction, when a private individual sold their 46-unit assisted living community to a confidential buyer for $8.5 million, or 184,783 per unit.

Rates were solid too, with an average of $4,420 per month for private pay and $3,451 per month for Family Care. As a result, the community operated at about a 40%... Read More »

Setting Records in the Bronx

You almost never see a single senior care property sell for over $100 million. In fact, only two had ever been recorded with a higher price: a 423-unit/bed CCRC for $165 million in 2007, and a 499-bed skilled nursing facility for $105.5 million in 2015. Now, there is a third. Joshua Jandris, Charles Hilding and Mark Myers of Marcus & Millichap closed the sale of a 744-bed skilled nursing facility in Bronx, New York, for a whopping $110 million, or $147,850 per bed, making it the second-largest single-property sale (and the largest stand-alone skilled nursing facility sale) ever. Located on a 2.46-acre parcel, the facility is spread out among three connected buildings that were built in... Read More »
