REIT Partnership Picks Up Tennessee Properties

REIT Partnership Picks Up Tennessee Properties

A regional operator partnered with a REIT to purchase two assisted living/memory care communities in Tennessee. The two identical 87-unit communities were built in 2000 and have maintained a strong reputation in their respective markets of Knoxville and Chattanooga.   Occupancy was in the low-80s, and the buyers saw an opportunity to enter two targeted markets and improve performance at the sites. The operating margin could also improve from the current 20% on more than $7.35 million of revenues.

SLIB Secures Three Sales on Two Coasts

Jason Punzel, Brad Goodsell and Vince Viverito of Senior Living Investment Brokerage announced a couple of closings out West. Starting in rural central Oregon, the trio sold a 27-unit/35-bed assisted living community in the town of Maupin for $1.6 million, or $59,300 per unit.
