Welltower Building A Manhattan Tower
Welltower and Hines will be developing Welltower’s first urban high rise senior care community in Manhattan. I, for one, can’t wait to take a tour of Hines and Welltower’s high rise assisted living and memory care development right in the middle of midtown Manhattan. And while I’m at it, I could visit Maplewood Senior Living’s similar development a little more than a mile north on the Upper East side of Manhattan. The Welltower community will be 15 stories tall, which is unusual for seniors housing, but not for me. The CCRC I am most familiar with from personal experience has 25 stories and is located in Florida in a considerably less urban environment. Height was never an issue,... Read More »
Welltower in NYC?
Welltower, in partnership with real estate investment firm (and newbie to seniors housing), Hines, has acquired a site to develop an assisted living/memory care community in Midtown Manhattan. The original owners of the two adjacent properties that make up the one site brought in Eastern Consolidated to represent them in the sale, for which the terms were not disclosed. Design and development plans have been started, but no scheduled start date has been announced. So, it looks like Omega Healthcare Investors and Maplewood Senior Living will have some competition for their Manhattan senior living development, which is located on the Upper East Side and comprises 20 stories of 214...

After owning what is known as the Aston Gardens portfolio in Florida for just two and a half years, Kayne Anderson Real Estate Advisors has sold the six-property portfolio with 1,930 units to a joint venture between Welltower and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB) for $555 million. They will own a 97.5% interest, so grossed up to 100% equates to a per-unit value of $295,000. The manager, Discovery Senior Living, will retain a 2.5% interest, down from 10% with the previous owner. Kayne Anderson bought the portfolio in late 2013 for an estimated $400 million from GE Healthcare Finance. During GE’s ownership, occupancy had dropped from 95% to below 85%, which caused them to remove... Read More »Senior Care Market Peak and Bottom
The private market valuation may have peaked, but the public market may have seen its low. As you know, I have been vocal about the acquisition market being at a peak for most of this year, at least when it comes to pricing. It just seems hard to imagine cap rates declining further with a rate hike looking like a reality….at least, according to consensus thinking. But the public markets are a different story. It has been a real roller coaster, but mostly down. But, and this is a big but, the downward spiral was so bad we just may have hit bottom. And November 13 is looking like the bottom, at least for now. On the provider side, both Kindred Healthcare and Genesis Health hit new lows on... Read More »Schedule a demo
