Senior Living Investment Brokerage Ends April With Three SNF Sales

Senior Living Investment Brokerage Ends April With Three SNF Sales

Senior care M&A activity may be tepid right now, but Senior Living Investment Brokerage ended April with a bang, announcing several skilled nursing closings and several seniors housing ones too. We’ll start with the skilled nursing sales, and you can read about the seniors housing transactions here.  Brad Clousing and Matthew Alley kicked it off with the sale of a 170-bed skilled nursing facility in Mobile, Alabama. Built in 1968 and 1982, the facility was subject to a long-term ground lease with the adjacent hospital. An entire floor with over 30 beds was out of service, but the facility was just around 60% occupied at the time of the sale and historically operated between that mark... Read More »
SLIB Arranges Three Seniors Housing Transactions

SLIB Arranges Three Seniors Housing Transactions

Bradley Clousing and Matthew Alley of Senior Living Investment Brokerage continued the firm’s impressive run into the seniors housing M&A market (read about their skilled nursing deals here), selling a 170-unit independent living community in Dallas, Texas. The property actually traded at the end of 2020, with CareTrust REIT (NASDAQ: CTRE) selling to Valstone Partners. Built in 1987 and thoroughly renovated in 2013 with additional capital improvements made in 2016, CareTrust had previously converted the remaining assisted living units to independent living.   Occupancy had declined as a result, but it was steadily improving to the low-80s with a...

Senior Living Investment Brokerage Closes Two Value Add Deals

Senior Living Investment Brokerage Closes Two Value Add Deals

The Senior Living Investment Brokerage trio of Jason Punzel, Brad Goodsell and Vince Viverito sold three seniors housing communities across the country. Both deals involved properties with a good amount of upside, which is certainly not uncommon these days. The first deal involved a 73-unit assisted living/memory care community in central California. Their REIT owner decided to realign its portfolio, hence the sale. A regional owner/operator plans to remodel both communities.  The SLIB team then sold a 67-unit independent living/assisted living community in Wayzata, Minnesota (Minneapolis MSA), that had been vacant since the early days of the pandemic. A number of COVID-19 illnesses caused... Read More »
Cedar Communities Acquires Georgia Seniors Housing Community

Cedar Communities Acquires Georgia Seniors Housing Community

Daniel Geraghty, Bradley Clousing and Dave Balow of Senior Living Investment Brokerage have sold a seniors housing community in the Georgia town of Statham, which is located in between Atlanta and Athens. A family owner/operator originally developed the community in 1997 and decided early in 2020 to divest their only asset and retire from the business.   They are leaving behind a strong operation, as the property has consistently maintained occupancy between 90% and 100% across the 46 personal care units, all of which were studios. There is an opportunity to convert some of those units into two-bedroom options, as well as improve the operating margin.   That is what... Read More »
SLIB Sells Underperforming Missouri Skilled Nursing Facility

SLIB Sells Underperforming Missouri Skilled Nursing Facility

Jeff Binder and Ryan Saul of Senior Living Investment Brokerage started March with the sale of a 137-bed nursing facility in Missouri. It was relatively large at 137 beds, but occupancy was near 50%. It was not too old, having been built in stages in 1984, 1989 and 1994, but 25 to 35 years old is still old.   Located in Ballwin (St. Louis MSA), it was sold because of the facility’s underperformance, despite its good location, by a large Missouri operator. The buyer plans on doing significant renovations and refreshing of some common areas, as it wants to expand its services into the St. Louis MSA. The buyer was selected in September from a pool of five... Read More »
