CBRE Sells A Second First Centrum Independent Living Community

CBRE sold another First Centrum independent living community in Virginia, a couple of years after selling the developer’s 118-unit Glen Allen (Richmond MSA) community for $25.88 million, or $219,280 per unit.

WMD’s in Williamsburg!

What would you pay for an empty assisted living/memory care community? What about a nearly-finished 48-unit memory care community in Williamsburg, Virginia whose previous owner filed for bankruptcy? Well, Jacksonville, Florida-based investment bank/brokerage firm WM Dougherty & Co. (WMD) purchased that unfinished site for $7.5 million, and has plans to invest another $2 million to finish the community. All in, the WMD will end up paying nearly $200,000 per unit for a brand-new, but empty, memory care community. That may seem high, given that according to the 2016 Senior Care Acquisition Report, assisted living/memory care communities sold on average for $207,400 per unit, compared with... Read More »
