STAMFORD, N.Y. — Evans Senior Investments (ESI) has arranged the sale of Robinson Terrace, a two-building assisted living and skilled nursing campus in the small, Upstate New York town of Stamford. The property comprises a 120-bed skilled nursing facility built in 1973 and a 55-unit assisted living facility built in 2011. The two properties are located less than two miles from each other. Although the properties featured an occupancy rate above 90 percent over the 12 months preceding the sale, the property was operating at a loss. ESI represented the seller, a local nonprofit organization seeking an operator that could provide the same level of care but turn around the financial performance. The buyer was a regional, for-profit owner-operator. The price was not disclosed.
