TOLEDO, OHIO — Toledo-based healthcare REIT Welltower Inc. (NYSE: WELL) has entered into an 80/20 joint venture with ProMedica Health System to acquire Quality Care Properties (NYSE: QCP) for nearly $2 billion in cash. The joint venture will acquire the real estate of QCP’s principal tenant, HCR ManorCare, the nation’s second-largest nursing home chain. Toledo-based HCR ManorCare filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March after struggling to pay rent to QCP, which owns nearly all of the facilities in which HCR ManorCare operates. QCP won a court approval earlier this month to acquire HCR ManorCare out of bankruptcy. QCP itself is a spin-off of healthcare REIT HCP (NYSE: HCP), which created the company in 2016 specifically to remove HCR ManorCare’s 320 properties from its portfolio. As part of the transaction, ProMedica has agreed to buy the operations of HCR ManorCare, making the nonprofit healthcare organization a national U.S. healthcare provider. “This acquisition will enable ProMedica to expand their service offering beyond acute care hospitals to include home health, post-acute care and residential memory care,” says Tom DeRosa, CEO of Welltower. The HCR ManorCare chain has more than 50,000 employees providing services in 450 assisted living facilities, skilled nursing and rehabilitation …

The strength of the national multifamily market has been driven by a number of factors, especially job and wage growth. Nationally, annual job growth has been 1.5 percent and annual wage growth has been 2.9 percent, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Another factor affecting the multifamily market is homeownership. In the United States, homeownership reached 65 percent in 2008, dropped to 60 percent in 2015 and rebounded to 65 percent at the end of 2017, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Strong demand, low vacancies, good rental growth and a vibrant sales market have characterized the market. During the last 10 years, the millennial population has primarily rented housing and baby boomers have been downsizing to apartments or condos. These trends have contributed to the multifamily market’s strength. We see the millennial sector housing choices changing with much of the generation getting married and starting families. Last year represented the third-best year in history for multifamily property sales volume, according to Dave Lockard, senior vice president in the multifamily brokerage division of CBRE. Another factor affecting multifamily markets is a slowdown in new construction. Higher construction costs and more conservative commercial bank construction financing have led to …
