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. Plus, there is adjacent land next to each community, which enables the new owner to expand services in the future. According to the panelists on our recent webinar “Assisted Living: Where are...

Operations had declined during the pandemic, and the facility was losing money at the time of the sale with an occupancy of around 80%.   During that time, the facility had an initial... Read More »

SLIB Secures Three Sales on Two Coasts

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. Built in 2005, this community was fully occupied, but with a 60% Medicaid census.
