FORT COLLINS, COLO. — Evans Senior Investments (ESI) has arranged the sale of a skilled nursing facility in Fort Collins for $7.6 million. The seller was an independent owner-operator. Although the number of beds was not released, the per-bed price of $79,166 equates to 96 beds. Initially built in 1968, the seller owned and operated the community for nearly two decades, achieving a four-star CMS rating. However, being its only skilled nursing facility, the company faced the challenges of today’s operating environment and lacked economies of scale. Upon marketing, the facility was 68 percent occupied, generating over $7.5 million in annual revenue, leading to negative net operating income of over $500,000. ESI was able to showcase the possibility for a new ownership group to align the community’s census with the averages of competitors in the area, as well as the potential to tap into the robust network of hospitals in Fort Collins. “Evans Senior Investments was able to showcase Colorado’s recent Medicaid rate increase, which was projected to add over $450,000 in revenue beginning in July 2023,” says Hank Fuller, senior associate at ESI. The buyer was a West Coast-based operator with an existing presence in the state of Colorado.
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. — Berkadia has arranged the financing of a 72-bed memory care facility in Colorado Springs. Jay Healy and Andrew Lanzaro of Berkadia Seniors Housing & Healthcare secured a $14.4 million bridge loan to retire the existing construction debt and transaction costs. Berkadia Seniors Housing & Healthcare was able to offer an 18-month, floating-rate, bridge-to-HUD loan to allow the borrower enough time to continue improving NOI to a level that will support a HUD refinancing. Berkadia Seniors Housing & Healthcare anticipates submitting the HUD application within 12 months. The Washington-based borrower completed the community in 2018 and, despite strong lease-up velocity in 2019, struggled throughout much of 2020 and 2021 due to key staff turnover and multiple COVID-19 lockdowns. Occupancy hit a low point of 30 percent in December 2020 before new facility-level leadership stepped in to stabilize the community, managing to increase occupancy to 72 percent by March 2023.
