Knapp Sells Specialty Assisted Living Community
It wasn’t the most straightforward of transactions, but Jim Knapp of Marcus & Millichap successfully sold an assisted living/memory care community in southeast Michigan for $6.5 million, or about $162,500 per bed, with an approximate cap rate between 9% and 10%. Built in 1991 and 1996, the community was owned by a family trust until the current sale. About 25% of its census (occupancy was in the high 90s) was derived from residents with traumatic brain injuries who were funded through catastrophic claims.

Wisconsin Owner Doubles Portfolio In One Deal

Marcus & Millichap Closes Milwaukee Deal
A senior care campus in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that has seen a number of transformations over the years, will soon see another, having recently traded hands with the help of Ray Giannini of Marcus & Millichap. Originally built in 1970 with 112 skilled nursing beds by a local family, the facility underwent a couple of expansions in 2005 and 2012, leaving it with 88 of the original SNF beds, 24 private subacute rehab units and 49 private assisted living units. Due to recent survey issues, occupancy had fallen across the campus to 84% at the SNF and to 83% for the assisted living, and both acuities also maintained majority-Medicaid censuses around 70%. After over 45 years of ownership, the... Read More »
