Matthew Alley Sells 100th Texas Property

Cheers to Matthew Alley, who just sold his 100th facility in the state of Texas since joining Senior Living Investment Brokerage in 2006. In what was his 69th transaction in the state, Mr. Alley (and Patrick Byrne) represented a public healthcare REIT in its disposition of a 75-bed SNF in the Texas Panhandle, in the town of Wheeler. Built in 1982, the facility has a long way to go to stabilization, and its rural location doesn’t make it easier. It was just 55% occupied and operated just above breakeven under management of the outgoing Texas-based SNF operator. The buyer is a regional owner/operator that focuses on the state of Texas too. It purchased the facility for $1.8 million, or... Read More »

However, one AL wing with 24 units was being renovated at the time of the sale,... Read More »

Matthew Alley of Senior Living Investment Brokerage handled the transaction. Read More »
Tryko Partners Grows Again

Tryko Partners Grows Again

A few weeks after HCR ManorCare filed a pre-packaged bankruptcy petition, yet another one of its skilled nursing facilities has been sold. This facility is located in Yeadon, Pennsylvania, which is outside of Philadelphia, and Tryko Partners was the buyer. Built in 1995, the 129-bed facility is located adjacent to Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital, which is part of the Mercy Health System. Apparently, this was not one of the underperforming facilities operated by HCRMC, as it maintained a four-star rating from CMS and a five-star rating for quality measures. Nice to hear. Tryko’s affiliate, Marquis Health Services, will operate the facility and they expect to invest more than $2.5 million in the... Read More »
