• The Saga of Genesis HealthCare Continues

    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 »

Blueprint’s Summer Bonanza

If you blinked, then you may have missed Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors’ five transaction announcements in just over 24 hours during the dog days of August, bringing the firm’s 2018 closings to 43, so far. That is just 10 off of their entire 2017 total. Chris Hyldahl, Ben Firestone, Gideon Orion and Michael Segal closed three transactions as a team, including the largest of the bunch, when they arranged the sale of nine skilled nursing facilities and 981 licensed beds to a private equity investor for over $81 million, or approximately $83,000 per bed.
