AURORA, COLO. — Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors has arranged the sale of Sable Care and Rehabilitation Center, a 120-bed skilled nursing facility in the Denver suburb of Aurora, for $5.4 million. A publicly traded REIT based in California sold the property to a New York-based investor. The seller was looking to divest a non-core asset as a value-add opportunity. The new owner will lease to facility to a prominent regional operator with an existing footprint in Colorado. The facility is located near the University of Colorado Hospital and CU Anschutz Medical Campus. At the time the property was put on the market, the trailing 12-month operational performance yielded $6 million in total revenue with overall occupancy at 56 percent. The outgoing operator took over the building at a time of operational challenges, but was able to change course towards regulatory compliance and improved operational performance. Blueprint’s Christopher Hyldahl and Gideon Orion were lead advisors on the transaction. The sale price equates to $45,000 per licensed bed.

Los Angeles County is facing a significant lack of housing product — an issue that can’t be resolved any time soon. With the fight to limit new development, it is a very uphill and challenging battle that is unfortunate for the economy, business and, most of all, residents. An influx of about 160,000 new residents moved to the county from 2010 through 2015, but we have only seen upwards of 25,000 new housing units built during that same time frame. The demand drivers are extremely significant for new housing, but supply constraints like zoning and regulations are preventing an adequate supply. Additionally, with an unemployment rate currently at a historical low of about 4 percent, projections for housing demand over the next decade all point to a severe shortage in this growing region. Despite all the news about companies moving out of state to enjoy less expensive business costs as well as more affordable housing for their employees, this region, along with California as a whole, continues to see a population increase.
