Carnegie Capital Finances Western Seniors Housing Deal

Carnegie Capital Finances Western Seniors Housing Deal

JD Stettin of Carnegie Capital announced a couple of loan closings that funded the acquisition of two senior living communities in Montana and Wyoming. If that deal sounds familiar, it’s because we covered Senior Living Investment Brokerage’s involvement in it earlier this week.   Totaling a combined 107 units, split between 61 independent living and 46 assisted living units, the deal included a community built in 1995 in Cody, Wyoming and one in Great Falls, Montana that opened in 2003. They’re in good condition and reported positive cash flow, but occupancy could be improved, currently sitting at 72% at the Cody location and 87% in Great Falls. Both... Read More »

SLIB Sells Sacramento-Area Seniors Housing Community

Eskaton, a California-based not-for-profit provider of senior care services, decided to sell its Sacramento-area seniors housing community, enlisting the help of Brad Goodsell, Jason Punzel and Vince Viverito of Senior Living Investment Brokerage to get the deal done.

Senior Living Investment Brokerage Handles Memphis-Area Sale

Senior Living Investment Brokerage Handles Memphis-Area Sale

Bradley Clousing and Daniel Geraghty of Senior Living Investment Brokerage handled the sale of a skilled nursing facility in West Memphis, Arkansas. Consisting of 85 beds in 49 units, the facility is situated along the Mississippi River on the Arkansas-Tennessee border. It was built in 1975 and includes a well-maintained physical plant.

It was owned by an Arkansas-based regional owner/operator that decided to divest this asset from its portfolio. Another regional owner/operator stepped in to acquire the facility, closing at the...
