The Alley Way
Matthew Alley of Senior Living Investment Brokerage was certainly busy over New Years, closing a couple of rural SNF transactions. First, he and Ryan Saul sold a 99-bed facility in Clinton, Iowa (about 40 miles northeast of Davenport) for $2.1 million, or $21,212 per bed. Built in 1950, but with updates in the 2000s, the facility was just 72% occupied and losing money. The national real estate owner leased it to a national operator, but that was set to expire on January 1, 2017. Despite closing the transaction in December, the buyer, a regional owner/operator with other facilities in the state, took over operations on January 1. Then, Mr. Alley went down to Synder, Texas to sell a 99-bed... Read More »
Give and Receive
A relatively new assisted living community in Vancouver, Washington was already under control of a Receiver when it was sold to a regional operator for $7.5 million, or $156,250 per unit, with an 8.7% cap rate. Built in 2013 by Oregon-based Elite Care, the 48-unit community was just 73% occupied by 2016. And even though it was operating at a 22% margin on approximately $3 million of revenues, the community was placed under receivership and slotted for sale. The new owner plans to invest in capital and cosmetic improvements, as well as convert some employee apartments to senior living units. Matthew Alley, Jeff Binder and Jason Punzel of Senior Living Investment Brokerage represented the... Read More »
Brad brokers in Birmingham
When faced with the option of expanding its 45-unit assisted living community in Trussville, Alabama (Birmingham MSA), or exiting the industry altogether, a local owner/operator chose the latter, at a price of $4.5 million, or $100,000 per unit, with a 7.4% cap rate. Indeed, the owner had already completed initial planning for a Phase II expansion on the 4.5-acre campus. But the community, which was built in 2009, experienced a dip in census to 82%, although this was trending up at close of escrow. Operating margin was solid at approximately 22% on a trailing-12 month basis. Birmingham, Alabama-based Atlas Senior Living was the buyer, which is planning minor renovations to the common...

The Yankees are coming
Winchester, Virginia was the most fought-over town during the American Civil War, changing hands between the North and South as many as 72 times. Now, in a bloodless affair, a 75-unit assisted living community in town has a new owner (New York City-based Care Investment Trust), to the tune of $9.38 million, or $125,067 per unit, with a 7.4% cap rate. The community has undergone expansions since opening in 1990, including a 35-unit addition in 2008, and today includes 73 AL units and two independent living cottages. Both occupancy and the operating margin can be improved, with both standing at 83% and 22%, respectively. Also, monthly rates, ranging from $2,500 to $2,900 for semi-privates,...
