WASHINGTON, D.C. — Greystar’s Jackie Rhone, a 35-year veteran of the multifamily industry, cut right to the chase when describing how the active adult niche differs from the traditional apartment sector in one big way for owners and operators. “This is the only time in my career that I’ve sold a lifestyle. I’m not selling four walls. They don’t care what your backsplash looks like. They want it to be nice, but that’s not what’s driving them,” said Rhone, referring to prospective residents of active adult communities. “What’s driving them is a lifestyle that you’re creating, and you can’t create that unless there are people living in your building that are showcasing that lifestyle.” Rhone, who earlier this month celebrated her 21st year with Greystar, serves as executive director of US Real Estate Services – Active Adult for the company. Under her watch, since mid-2019 Greystar’s active adult portfolio has grown from about 5,000 units and 27 properties to 17,000 units and 95 properties across 24 states. Her remarks came Wednesday during a panel discussion titled “Rational Exuberance: Investing in the Rapidly Growing Active Adult Segment” on the opening day of the 2022 NIC Fall Conference. Approximately 2,800 professionals descended …

ATLANTA — After a quarter characterized by rising costs of living and mounting inflation, “recession” is the word on everybody’s lips. But Roger Tutterow, professor of economics at Kennesaw State University in Georgia, states that “it is not a foregone conclusion that we’re in a recession today or that we’ll get there in the next several months.” The official definition of a recession is not two consecutive quarters of negative growth in gross domestic product (GDP). “Most of the time it works out that way,” Tutterow said, “but the technical definition of a recession is a period of diminishing activity in production, trade, employment and income.” Tutterow noted that looking at these four components of economic activity and comparing them to today indicates a softening economy and an elevated risk of recession, but he does not believe that the economy is necessarily contracting. He puts the risk of a recession in the next 12 months as roughly one chance in three. Tutterow’s assessment of the current state of the economy and his near-term outlook came during a keynote address Tutterow delivered at the ninth annual InterFace Seniors Housing Southeast, a networking and information conference hosted by France Media’s InterFace Conference …

HENDERSON, NEV. — Evans Senior Investments (ESI) has arranged the sale of TLC Care Center, a 255-bed skilled nursing facility in Henderson. An independent owner-operator sold the asset to Hill Valley Healthcare for $50 million, or $196,000 per bed. Built in 1999, TLC Care Center is located just 10 miles south of the Las Vegas strip. The facility features 35 private and 112 semi-private rooms, which includes 42 ventilator-equipped beds in a designated wing. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the facility exhibited over 90 percent occupancy levels and produced over $24 million in annual revenue. However, because of the pandemic, occupancy was only 58 percent at the time of marketing. “The competitive bidding and record-breaking price per bed for a community whose census was below stabilized levels showcases the strength of the skilled nursing market today,” says Brendan DeSilvia, associate at ESI. The acquisition was Hill Valley Healthcare’s first in Nevada.
