Seniors Housing Development Costs Dictate Market Entry, Says InterFace Panel

by Kristin Harlow September 25, 2018

ATLANTA — The pace of seniors housing development has accelerated sharply in recent years. Approximately 396 seniors housing properties came online or opened in the top 100 metro areas in the country from the fourth quarter of 2016 to the fourth quarter of 2017, according to data from Plante Moran Living Forward, a senior living development consulting firm. During the two years prior, about 596 communities opened. What’s more, approximately 65 percent of those newly added properties were from operators that only had two or fewer properties, according to Dana Wollschlager, practice leader for the firm and moderator of the development panel at the 2018 InterFace Seniors Housing Southeast conference. The significant number of developments and new entrants to the seniors housing space were major discussion points for the panel, which took place on Wednesday, Aug. 29 at the Westin Buckhead in Atlanta. The one-day conference drew nearly 520 developers, lenders, investors and operators in the senior living space. Joining Wollschlager on the panel were Richard Ackerman, managing partner of Big Rock Partners; Jeff Arnold, chief operating officer of United Group of Cos.; Blanding Beatty, chief investment officer of Traditions Senior Living; Andy Isakson, managing partner of Isakson Living; and …

Market Studies Are ‘Just One Piece of The Puzzle’ for Seniors Housing Developers, Says InterFace Panel

by Camren Skelton September 13, 2018

ATLANTA — Investing in a quality market study is an important step for a developer to take before breaking ground on a new seniors housing community, but the analysis alone cannot predict the success of a future property. “The report gives you a point-in-time idea of where you’re at, but it doesn’t take into consideration what’s really happening within the marketplace, on the ground, in competing communities each and every day,” said Joe Jasmon, CEO and managing partner of American Healthcare Management Group, a consultant to the seniors housing and healthcare industries. According to Jasmon, in order to get a true feel of the properties you are competing against, it’s imperative to have boots on the ground. “Everybody looks good on the Internet and everybody will tell a good story on the phone,” he said. “But if you don’t actually go into these communities, you’re missing out on a whole story about the marketplace.” Jasmon’s comments came during the “Getting Good Data” panel discussion at the fifth annual InterFace Seniors Housing Southeast conference held Wednesday, Aug. 29 at the Westin Buckhead in Atlanta. The one-day event drew nearly 520 developers, lenders, investors and operators in the senior living space. Joining …
