Not for this not-for-profit

A not-for-profit assisted living/memory care community in Bartlett, Tennessee (Memphis MSA) has gone private, after being acquired by a joint venture between a regional operator and a private real estate investment company. Built in 1989, the community is comprised of five 24-unit residential buildings along with an administrative building. An obstacle for the new operator is that the kitchen is located in the admin building, with warming stations in each resident building. Operations could also be improved, as the margin is currently 9.5% on approximately $4.29 million of revenues, and occupancy is just 83%. But since this was its only community in Tennessee, the Connecticut-based... Read More »
Marcus & Millichap and CBRE Top Senior Care Broker Rankings

Marcus & Millichap and CBRE Top Senior Care Broker Rankings

While it was not exactly a repeat of 2015, it came pretty close. This year we had only 13 brokerage companies reporting their numbers, with a few active brokers deciding to take a pass this year for a variety of reasons. But they would not have taken the top spots, so no worries on that account. Based on the number of transactions closed in 2016, Marcus & Millichap came out on top for the second year in a row with 58 separate sales in the seniors housing and care market. This was down a bit from the 64 sales in 2015, but the entire market had a mild slowdown. Taking the number two spot for the second year in a row was Senior Living Investment Brokerage with 48 sales, also down from... Read More »

Brad Clousing of Senior Living Investment Brokerage is starting strong this year, selling three assisted living communities in two transactions for a combined $23 million. Partnering with Patrick Burke, Mr. Clousing first sold a 37-unit assisted living community in Martinsville, Virginia, a transaction that was a long time coming.

The long-term lease came with an initial yield of 9.25%. Awaiting TPA approval, the assisted living community eventually sold to Omega as well at a price of $7.5 million,... Read More »
Struggling skilled nursing facilities sell in Texas

Struggling skilled nursing facilities sell in Texas

We have seen a number of skilled nursing facilities sold this month that have seen better days, or at least hope to. The theme continued at the start of February, two SNF transactions in Texas were announced in succession involving struggling facilities. First up, The Ensign Group purchased a facility in San Antonio that was just 34% occupied. The campus, which features 124 skilled nursing and 17 assisted living beds, is subject to a long-term ground lease. There is some promise however, as the facility is adjacent to a 400-unit independent living community, a population for which it hopes to provide care and services. Ensign acquired both the real estate and operations, which it added to... Read More »

Southeast sale

Brad Clousing of Senior Living Investment Brokerage sold a pair of senior living communities, one vacant and one well occupied, in the Southeast. First, in Ormond Beach, Florida, was a 36-unit purpose-built (but empty) memory care community. Despite that, the community was well maintained, and the buyer, citing strong occupancy of other communities in the area, intends to re-open it. And second, Mr. Clousing sold a 32-unit assisted living community in Prattville, Alabama. Historically well occupied, the community is located on a 4.5 acre site that allows for expansion of the physical plant. So there is opportunity at both locations for the undisclosed buyer.
