LTC Properties Divests Three ALFs in Wisconsin

LTC Properties Divests Three ALFs in Wisconsin

In the ongoing plan to reposition its relationship with Senior Lifestyle Corporation, LTC Properties has sold three assisted living communities in Wisconsin. The sales price was $35.0 million, or about $133,100 per unit.   The three communities had a combined net book value of $28.3 million, and the estimated gain for LTC on the sale is approximately $5.6 million. There was no debt on the communities, so the net sales proceeds of $34.0 million were used to pay down the REIT’s unsecured revolving line of credit.   In the first quarter this year, LTC had transitioned 11 Senior Lifestyle assisted living communities in Wisconsin, Ohio and Illinois to two...

Enlivant Expands In Midwest

Enlivant Expands In Midwest

Enlivant expanded its presence in the Midwest with the acquisition of four senior living communities in Indiana (3) and Iowa (1). Ben Firestone and Michael Segal of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors represented the publicly traded REIT in its strategic exit of the assets. A national operator (which we believe to be Senior Lifestyle Corporation) also handed over the operations to the buyer, Enlivant. Built in the late 1990s, the four assisted living/memory care communities range in size from 35 units to 62 units, totaling 175 units. And although they were nearly all private pay, each community could improve their occupancy. That will be Enlivant’s task, which already has an existing... Read More »
