    by | Jan 22, 2026 1:55 pm | Acquisitions

    Genesis HealthCare was once one of the largest and most successful skilled nursing companies. But it grew too quickly, made some bad investments over the years (did we mention the billion-dollar merger with The MultiCare Companies?), and it always played the leverage game, whether with leases or debt, and usually both. Last summer, it filed for... Read More »

High value in Seattle

by | Nov 11, 2015 8:31 am | Acquisitions

Capitol Seniors Housing saw potential in a well performing senior living community in Seattle, Washington, shelling out $26 million, or $218,500 per unit, for it. Built in 2006, the four-story, 119-unit building has mostly assisted living, with some independent living, as well as 20 memory care units. Also, with the owner both developing the property and running it himself, occupancy has historically been between 85% and 90%. However, there is room for improvement. Capitol Seniors Housing plans to invest up to $2.5 million on remodeling and upgrades and will hire Milestone Retirement Communities to operate. Plus, the buyer plans to convert the IL units to AL and memory care while also... Read More »

An assisted living community in Mesa, Arizona has evolved a lot over its 30-year history. Built in 1985 as low-income housing, it was converted to seniors housing in 1996. Between 2003 and 2007, the owner at the time invested $5 million in renovations that allowed them to more than double rents in that time. Then, Harrison Street Real Estate Capital and its operating partner for the community, Milestone Retirement Communities, stepped in to purchase the community in 2008 for $15.85 million, or $90,600 per unit. Over time, the independent living units were reduced to make room for more assisted living. Currently there are 123 AL units, 30 memory care units and 22 IL units in 13 stories.... Read More »
