Senior Living Investment Brokerage Closes Two Southeast Sales

Senior Living Investment Brokerage Closes Two Southeast Sales

Toby Siefert and Brad Clousing of Senior Living Investment Brokerage teamed up to sell a 183-bed Washington, D.C. skilled nursing facility for $30 million, or a well above average $163,900 per bed. Built over 35 years ago adjacent to a local medical center, the facility had recently undergone $1.0 million in capital improvements, certainly lowering its effective age. It features a mix of private and semi-private units and was 94% occupied. Its regional owner/operator sought to reduce its exposure in the D.C market, and sold the facility to a partnership between a private New York-based investment group and an East Coast regional operator at a 10.4% cap rate. Mr. Clousing followed the D.C.... Read More »
TIC Investor Sells California Memory Care Community

TIC Investor Sells California Memory Care Community

A Southern California-based regional operator is heading north, to Petaluma (about 40 miles northwest of San Francisco), to acquire and take over management of a 40-unit memory care community. Previously owned by a TIC investor, who decided to divest the asset to realize their investment objectives, the community was built in 1996 on a 1.68-acre plot. Recent minimum wage requirements and increased competition caused the community to raise wages. Adding to its woes, community leadership was unstable, leading the community to expend significant overtime to deal with the vacant positions. These issues combined to affect its financial performance, with the operating margin at just 14% on over... Read More »
New Owner At New Albany Skilled Nursing Facility

New Owner At New Albany Skilled Nursing Facility

Ryan Saul of Senior Living Investment Brokerage facilitated the sale of a 156-bed skilled nursing facility in New Albany, Indiana, on behalf of the same investor he sold the property to roughly 10 years ago. Located across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky, this one-story facility was built in 1974 with 152 beds. The current seller, TMV Properties (a private partnership), purchased the facility in early 2007 for $5.7 million, or $37,500 per bed, when occupancy was 80% and quality mix was just 20%. TMV, which operated one other facility in Indiana at the time, invested in improvements and brought therapy services in-house. Both occupancy and quality mix have improved since then, and...

Senior Living Investment Brokerage Makes It Happen In Mississippi

Senior Living Investment Brokerage Makes It Happen In Mississippi

After developing and stabilizing its 40-unit assisted living community in Richland, Mississippi, a local owner/operator decided to exit the asset with the help of Daniel Geraghty and Bradley Clousing of Senior Living Investment Brokerage. The seller built the community in 2014 and licensed it for 55 beds in a mix of private and semi-private units. Occupancy was 91%, and it operated at a solid 34% margin. The incoming owner/operator, based in Tennessee, will undoubtedly look to add value to the property as it grows its existing portfolio and economies of scale in the state. They acquired the Richland community for $4 million, or $100,000 per unit, with an 8.75% cap rate. Read More »

Sinking Supportive Living Facility Sells In Chicagoland

The time had finally come for the Village of Dolton (a suburb south of Chicago) to sell its 126-bed supportive living facility, as the town handed over the keys to an experienced private owner. Built in 1970, the five-story facility had undergone an extensive renovation in 2008 to accommodate the SLF license. However, years of hiring third-party managers had not improved operations at the facility. Occupancy stood at just 33%, with a 51% Medicaid and 49% private pay census, and the facility lost around $700,000 per year in EBITDAR on approximately $1.4 million of revenues. The facility also went years without capital improvements, which certainly did not help occupancy nor its... Read More »
