SLIB’s Solid Start to April

SLIB’s Solid Start to April

Senior Living Investment Brokerage kicked off its Q2 with two transactions announced on the first on the month. First, Brad Clousing and Jeff Binder headed to Cape Coral, Florida to sell an 80-unit assisted living community that was a geographical outlier for the previous owner. The seller was also looking to redeploy capital to its other communities and to fund future growth. Built in 1968 with a substantial renovation in 1995, the community was well-occupied at 94% at the time of marketing. However, it was also operating at a 19% margin on just under $3.2 million of revenues, so there is a value-add opportunity for the new regional owner/operator, which paid $6.275 million, or $78,400...

Memory Care SNF Sold to Institutional Investor

Memory Care SNF Sold to Institutional Investor

Senior Living Investment Brokerage flocked to Iowa (no, not to launch a bid for the Presidency) to sell a 56-bed skilled nursing facility in West Des Moines. This facility stands out in that it exclusively serves Alzheimer’s and dementia patients. Occupancy at the time of the sale was 86% with a 94% private pay and 6% Medicare census. We don’t hear of figures like that often for a skilled nursing facility. The selling group of investors had realized their investment objectives and decided to sell the facility to an institutional investment group based in California. A national company with a strong presence in the Midwest will operate going forward. Nick Cacciabando and Jeff Binder handled... Read More »
SLIB Heads Southeast to Sell Sunlink SNF

SLIB Heads Southeast to Sell Sunlink SNF

A 100-bed skilled nursing facility in the affluent northern Georgia town of Ellijay was purchased by a private Northeast-based group looking to expand their current Peach State presence. Being the only facility in an area with a growing number of retirees, this SNF was consistently well occupied above 90%. Plus, once the adjacent hospital relocated in 2016, this 50-year old facility was able to expand into much of the old building, adding more resident rooms, a senior day care center, new administrative offices and outpatient rehab. It also operated at a solid 14% margin; pretty good these days. Its previous owner, Sunlink Health Systems Inc., was looking to redeploy capital and focus on... Read More »
New York Real Estate Firm Enters SNF Market

New York Real Estate Firm Enters SNF Market

Patrick Burke of Senior Living Investment Brokerage sold a pair of southern skilled nursing facilities to a Northeast-based real estate investment firm. Totaling 243 beds, the facilities were built between 1986 and 1990 and combined for 75% occupancy. The seller, an independent owner/operator, decided to exit the long-term care industry, after the problems started mounting at the Kentucky facility. Litigation concerns and rising insurance premiums caused cash flow to plummet at the location. The Tennessee facility was essentially operating at breakeven, and combined, they brought in nearly $14.1 million in revenues. Around 36% of the census came from private pay and Medicare patients (not... Read More »
Private Equity Firm Expands Portland Portfolio

Private Equity Firm Expands Portland Portfolio

A Southern California-based private equity firm added to their Portland, Oregon portfolio with the addition of a 38-unit assisted living community. Built in 2011, the small community was previously owned by a local operator who will be using the proceeds to invest in other real estate assets. It was 89% occupied (a solid figure these days) and operated at a 34% margin on under $2.5 million of revenues. So, there is some room for improvement. Jason Punzel, Brad Goodsell and Vince Viverito of Senior Living Investment Brokerage handled the transaction, which resulted in an $8.5 million, or $223,700 per unit, purchase price and a 10.0% cap rate.
