CINCINNATI — Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors has arranged the sale of St. Theresa Care Center in Cincinnati for an undisclosed price. A public REIT elected to execute the strategic sale of the facility following an operator transition earlier this year. St. Theresa Care Center is licensed for 92 assisted living beds and 99 skilled nursing beds. Designated as a National Historic Landmark, the property was originally built as an acute care hospital in the mid-1920s and was later expanded in the late 1950s. The building was ultimately converted to its current use, also featuring units available for independent living residents. However, the independent living and assisted living floors were most recently underutilized. The buyer was an owner-operator with a growing presence in the area. The facility has been renamed The Mariemont Care Center. Michael Segal, Connor Doherty, Ben Firestone and Ryan Kelly of Blueprint brokered the sale.

ATLANTA — One of the central questions of the investment panel at InterFace Seniors Housing Southeast was: Will transaction activity return in the fourth quarter? When Brooks Blackmon, panel moderator and executive managing director of Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors, asked the question, there was a quick response from the panel — “no.” “Return to what?” asked Kelly Sheehy senior managing director of Artemis Real Estate Partners. “Higher than today? Yes. Compared to 2019? No, it’s going to take time.” InterFace Seniors Housing Southeast is an annual conference hosted by France Media’s InterFace Conference Group, Seniors Housing Business and Southeast Real Estate Business. The event was held on Wednesday, Aug. 16 at the Westin Buckhead Atlanta hotel. Blackmon moderated the discussion. The panelists agreed that the fly in the ointment that has stifled investment sales the past few quarters has been the rapid runup in interest rates. The 10-year Treasury yield was at 4.3 percent at the time of this writing, which is the highest level since 2007. The secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) and federal funds rate, two short-term benchmark interest rates, have risen by more than 500 basis points in roughly 16 months. “Until debt markets improve, you’re …

— By Christopher J. Destino, Principal, Lee & Associates — The geographic area along the border of Los Angeles and Orange County is locally known as the Mid Counties market. This region currently boasts about 130 million square feet of industrial real estate, thanks to its prime location. This is a location that’s only 25 miles from the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, and 20 miles from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).  Like many other parts of the U.S., Mid Counties has begun to see the effects of continued economic uncertainty and a rising interest rate environment. It faces challenges like land scarcity and limited newly constructed buildings to accommodate the growing demand.  Thankfully, this area still typically delivers 200,000 to 500,000 square feet of new construction annually (2018 was abnormally high with about 2 million square feet added).   One recent deal worth noting is the 94,000-square-foot, Class A industrial distribution building in Santa Fe Springs from Panattoni that leased to BeBella Cosmetics for $2.05 per square foot net per month with an option to purchase at $577 per square foot.  Another new development example is the 146,617-square-foot building that Duke Realty developed and leased to Weee!, a …
