Strawberry Fields REIT continues to grow its skilled nursing holdings, and did so in a big way this month, by acquiring a large 231-bed SNF in Des Plaines, Illinois. That facility has had a somewhat checkered past. Originally built in 1975, it was acquired by a Catholic not-for-profit hospital and skilled nursing provider in May 2011 for $22 million, or $115,200 per operating bed, at a 9.5% cap rate. At the time, the facility was operating at an 11% margin and with just 191 of the 231 licensed beds (about 113 of which were occupied at the time), for an effective occupancy rate of 59%.
