by John Nelson November 17, 2016

TEQUESTA, FLA. — Capital One has provided a $14.1 million HUD loan modification to Tequesta Terrace, a 100-bed assisted living facility in Tequesta, approximately 90 miles north of Miami.

Will Trump’s Stance on Immigration Reform Exacerbate Worker Shortage Problem in Seniors Housing?

by Jeff Shaw November 17, 2016

Already facing a labor shortage, the U.S. seniors housing industry could be dealt a “devastating” blow if president-elect Donald Trump were to limit the number of lower-wage immigrants coming into the country in order to accommodate an increased number of high-wage skilled immigrants, says Jeff Sands, managing principal and general counsel for HJ Sims. “It’s a real issue this industry is grappling with,” especially given the growing number of facilities. Sands’ comments came during a “State of the Industry and 2017 Outlook” panel at the InterFace Seniors Housing Northeast conference in Philadelphia on Tuesday, Nov. 15. The U.S. seniors housing market will need to recruit 1.2 million new employees by 2025, Argentum reported in a research report released earlier this year. Because about 70 percent of the 65-plus population — including many people with cognitive impairment — requires some form of long-term care, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the nation’s aging population will create unprecedented demand for the services of the senior living industry in the coming decades.

Michigan’s Second Largest City Keeps Pace with Multifamily Housing Demand

by Jeff Shaw November 17, 2016

Many of the national trends unfolding in the multifamily sector are playing out in Grand Rapids, the second largest city in Michigan, with a population estimated at 195,000 and slightly more than 1 million metrowide. A combination of demographic, economic and lifestyle trends are leading to the creation of more renter households. This includes Baby Boomers, Millennials and renters by choice across all income levels. In addition, Grand Rapids is experiencing an urban renaissance that is bringing new commerce, housing and amenities into the downtown area. During the 2016 National Multifamily Housing Council conference in Orlando, Grand Rapids was recognized as one of the top three small to mid-sized markets in the country for multifamily investment. Annualized apartment rent growth in Grand Rapids has been running at a robust 7 to 8 percent for the past two years, but some momentum has been lost in the wake of a large number of units that have come on line. The annual rent growth slipped to 4.6 percent during the four-quarter period that ended Sept. 30. The average occupancy rate remains above 97 percent, but is gradually coming off a peak of 98.6 percent in the third and fourth quarters of 2013. …
