Marcus & Millichap Handles Two Transactions in Wisconsin

Two small but stabilized senior care facilities in Wisconsin sold to out-of-state buyers. Ray Giannini of Marcus & Millichap handled both transactions. The larger property is a 50-bed skilled nursing facility in the rural town of Shell Lake. Built in 1985 with an addition in 1994, it was 86% occupied with an almost 20% Medicare census. Helping the facility is the fact that it is the only SNF in town and is located next to a hospital. An out-of-state partnership sold the facility for $1.5 million, or $30,000 per bed, at a roughly 12.0% cap rate based on recent trailing financials.  Mr. Giannini followed that up with the sale of a 16-unit assisted living community in Kenosha (Chicago...
