Another Missouri Purchase For Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV

Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV returned to Missouri yet again to acquire an assisted living community in the St. Louis suburb of Warrenton. The single-asset transaction follows two portfolio deals for the REIT in the Show Me State, which included eight skilled nursing facilities bought for $88.2 million and two skilled nursing facilities that were a part of a 24-property (the rest located in Illinois) acquisition for a combined $78.5 million.

Senior Living Investment Brokerage’s Summer Surge

Senior Living Investment Brokerage’s Summer Surge

As the temperatures rose, the team at Senior Living Investment Brokerage heated up too, following up its portfolio closing in Florida with two deals in the Lone Star State. First, in east Texas, Matthew Alley worked with an independent owner/operator to sell their long-held skilled nursing facilities in Grand Saline and Athens. Built in the 1960s, the facilities were operating just above breakeven on approximately $3.5 million of combined revenues. The 76-bed facility in Grand Saline was 65% occupied, while the 82-bed Athens facility had run into some major regulatory issues and was just 52% occupied. Another independent owner/operator based in the Dallas/Fort Worth area stepped in as the... Read More »
LTC Properties, Affinity Living Group & Sunwest Management

LTC Properties, Affinity Living Group & Sunwest Management

The story of Sunwest Management keeps creeping up in the news, although not in a bad way this time, as a former Sunwest assisted living/memory care community in Spartanburg, South Carolina, just sold to a joint venture between LTC Properties and Affinity Living Group. Originally built by the former Manorhouse Retirement Communities in 1999, the 87-unit community was sold to Sunwest in 2005 for approximately $6 million, or about $69,000 per unit. The lender, however, foreclosed on the property when the community was just 50% occupied and sold it to private investor Chris Brogdon in 2010 for $4.95 million, or about $57,000 per unit. Average monthly rents fell to $2,400, from $2,625 per month... Read More »
Griffin-American and Greystone

Griffin-American and Greystone

A month ago, we learned of a couple of large divestments by New Senior Investment Group, in a move to bring its share price up to where management believes it should be, by increasing the share of its independent living portfolio, decreasing its Holiday Retirement exposure, and reducing its concentration in the three states of Florida, Texas and California. We have also just learned that Cody Tremper and Mike Garbers of Greystone represented SNR in the transaction. Spread out across Central Florida, the portfolio consists of nine properties and were all formerly operated by Holiday Retirement. However, operations have dropped off since Holiday stopped having live-in managers at its... Read More »

Mike Pardoll’s Southeast Swing

Marcus & Millichap’s Mike Pardoll crisscrossed the Southeast to close two transactions. First, Mr. Pardoll sold a 99-unit independent living community in Durham, North Carolina for $15.8 million, or about $160,000 per unit, with a 6.3% cap rate. Originally built as a hotel in 1985, the building was purchased in 2012 and converted to independent living in a multimillion-dollar renovation. It was clearly the right move, with occupancy reaching 100% and the operating margin currently at 32% under management by Meridian Senior Living. The community features an interior courtyard with an in-ground pool, bocce court, putting green and community garden, among other amenities at the property.... Read More »
