More Sales From Newmark

More Sales From Newmark

We have recently reported on some larger transactions from the Newmark team, but they have also closed some smaller ones. In late November, the team closed on the sale of a 150-unit active adult community in Texas. The community was built in 2015 and has 150 units. They went to market in later 2019 but then the pandemic interrupted the process.  That did not deter buyer and seller, as they waited it out for occupancy to get to 92%, which it did, and the deal closed. The price was $57.75 million, or $385,000 per unit, and came with an in-place cap rate close to 4.5%. Greystar will remain as the operator. Newmark and The Carlyle Group, the owners of Greystar,...

Newmark Closes Out 2019 With A Bang

Newmark Closes Out 2019 With A Bang

We told you that the folks at Newmark Knight Frank were going to have a big year end, and in the days just before Christmas they closed four transactions worth about $550 million in total. Not a bad way to end the year, and we hope they are all off on vacation until January 5. In the largest transaction, Ryan Maconachy and Chad Lavender sold a portfolio of three Discovery Senior Living-operated assets on behalf of Kayne Anderson. The three communities with 483 units are located in Virginia, Pennsylvania and Delaware and average about 45% independent living, 34% assisted living and 21% memory care units. Overall occupancy is a solid 94%. The buyer was Partners Group, an international... Read More »
CBRE’s “Triple-A” Acquisition Financing

CBRE’s “Triple-A” Acquisition Financing

Aron Will, Austin Sacco and Adam Mincberg of CBRE helped arrange acquisition financing on behalf of Angelo Gordon & Co. and Auctus Capital Partners to purchase an assisted living/memory care community in Oakland, California. Located in the affluent submarket of Rockridge, this 148-unit community was originally built in 1981 but recently underwent two multimillion-dollar renovations which have made it a top competitor in the area. The first renovation in 2013 converted 30 assisted living units into a dedicated memory care wing, and the second renovation in 2016 (at $4.8 million) saw updates made to the interior and exterior common areas, amenities, units and landscaping. On top of that,... Read More »
The Gold Standard A Bit Tarnished

The Gold Standard A Bit Tarnished

A scathing article from The Washington Post discloses quality problems at HCR ManorCare before its sale to Welltower and ProMedica Health System. For those of you who missed the Thanksgiving weekend article from the Washington Post about poor care at HCR ManorCare’s nursing facilities in Pennsylvania, well, why ruin a great weekend? All kidding aside, it did not portray HCR ManorCare in a very good light, citing numerous cases of poor care and lack of staffing. But I am not sure if they were attacking HCR ManorCare itself, or The Carlyle Group, which owned the company at the time and did the $6 billion sale/leaseback which financially strangled them. Granted, most of the events cited in... Read More »

Switching around lending partners, a joint venture between Bourne Financial Group and Cascadia Senior Living recapitalized and refinanced their 138-unit assisted living/memory care property in Kennewick, Washington, with the help of CBRE’s Aron Will.
