Clousing Arranges Second Savannah Sale This Year

Clousing Arranges Second Savannah Sale This Year

Closing his second senior living transaction in Savannah this year, Brad Clousing of Senior Living Investment Brokerage sold a large senior living community located just 10 minutes away from the historic center downtown. Built in 1986 and 1998, the 209-unit community features a majority of independent living units (146), but assisted living and memory care rooms too. Plus, the previous owner, HJ Sims, recently converted its personal care license to an assisted living license, giving the buyer added flexibility when it comes to acuity types. That should help as they embark on a plan to increase occupancy (from its current 74%) and boost the operating margin (from about 16% on $4.9 million... Read More »

Just when we thought it was safe to go outside again, it was revealed that Welltower had transferred the operations of 20 memory care and Alzheimer’s communities from one of its formerly favored tenants, Silverado Senior Living, to a formerly much smaller tenant, Frontier Management. These 20 properties represent 50% of Silverado’s memory care operations, and the transition is obviously a serious blow. To say that people were shocked by this development would be an understatement. Of the 20 properties, 11 are located in Texas and the rest scattered among four other western and midwestern states. We understand that sometimes a REIT or a lender has to make difficult decisions to protect its... Read More »
