Deal of the Week
As readers know by now, the average price per bed in the skilled nursing market set a new record in 2013, driven mostly by an increase in high-priced properties and portfolios, specifically those that sold for more than $100,000 per bed. We didn’t think 2014 would be able to match 2013, but with a few more sales like this one, you never know. A private owner/developer sold his four-year old, 108-bed skilled nursing facility outside Denver, Colorado for approximately $268,000 per bed. As far as we can tell, that is a record per-bed price, but one we may see again as more properties like this come on the market. First, it is new with occupancy above 90%. Second, it is not certified for Medicaid, all patient rooms are private and the census is about 50% Medicare, with the rest insurance and private pay. Third, with the new construction, there is more than 700 square feet per bed. And the cap rate was near 11.5% based on estimated 2013 EBITDA.

Financing of the Week
A large retirement living campus that opened its first building in 2004 and the second one in 2009, and with two-thirds of the units independent living, might be at risk of running into financial difficulties given the timing of the construction. While we can assume the fill up for the second building was slow, overall occupancy at this campus in Portland, Oregon is currently 95%, up 15% since 2011. The campus has 186 independent living units, 91 assisted living units and 16 memory care units in its two buildings. The current performance was good enough to take it to market for a refinancing, which is what they did, securing $49.3 million in new debt with Fannie Mae. The 10-year loan is fixed rate, amortizes over 30 years and is 75% loan to value, putting the property value at nearly $225,000 per unit. Leisure Care Retirement Communities manages the buildings and is a partial owner, and Heidi Brunet of Berkadia Commercial Mortgage placed the loan……….Want to read more news?

Stat of the Week
It was a strong year for those seniors housing communities that were predominantly independent living. They set a new record for the average price paid per unit of $191,950 in 2013, besting the old record of $174,500 per unit set in 2007. In addition, the upper quartile price was $262,200 per unit, meaning that 25% of the IL communities sold for a price above that level. At the other end of the spectrum, the lower quartile price was $125,900 per unit, meaning that 25% of the IL properties sold for a price below this level. All of the 2013 M&A statistics will be available in our soon-to-be-published 19th edition of The Senior Care Acquisition Report…….. Want to read more news?
