A New Horizon?

Michigan has been in the news a lot lately as the home of political upsets and recounts. But it’s also the home of Mike Garbers and Cody Tremper’s (of Greystone Real Estate Advisors) latest transaction. The duo represented a publicly traded REIT in the sale of its 298-unit independent living community in Southfield, Michigan to a private equity firm. Built in 1998 on seven acres, the Brookdale Senior Living-operated community features a host of amenities, including a greenhouse, gazebo, library, restaurant-style dining and a beauty/barber shop, but it has significant capex needs. That perhaps explains the relatively low purchase price of $12.5 million, or about $42,000 per unit. For some... Read More »

Public REITs can sell seniors housing assets too

We’ve read a lot about public REITs shedding their skilled nursing assets, but that’s not all they’re selling. A publicly traded REIT sold a pair of West Coast assisted living communities for $23 million, or $365,079 per unit. There is a 48-bed/24-unit assisted living/memory care community in Corvallis, Oregon, and a 78-bed/39-unit AL community in Citrus Heights, California. Over 93% occupied, the communities earned around $6.5 million in annualized revenues. The buyer, Summit Healthcare REIT, triple-net leased the properties for a term of 10 years to an affiliate of Compass Senior Living. Acquisition financing was arranged by Capital One, and Tim Cobb of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate... Read More »

Going, going, Greystone

A senior living community in Jacksonville, Florida with an unusual set-up traded hands with the help of Greystone.

A new public REIT

We have a new publicly traded healthcare REIT. MedEquities Realty Trust priced its 19.9 million share IPO at $12.00 per share, which was at the low end of the potential range of $12.00 to $14.00 per share. It opened at a slight discount of $11.50 per share yesterday in a day that the overall market tanked. The company invests in skilled nursing facilities, hospitals, LTACs and other healthcare real estate properties. It may be small now, but we are sure it will be out there scouting new acquisitions. The new shareholders are counting on it. FBR, J.P. Morgan, Citigroup, KeyBanc Capital Markets, Raymond James and RBC Capital Markets served as joint book-running managers Read More »
