Blueprint Arranges Sale of 100-Unit Assisted Living Community in Visalia

by Nellie Day March 28, 2017

VISALIA, CALIF. — Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors, a Chicago-based brokerage firm, has arranged the sale of Park Visalia Assisted Living, a 100-unit assisted living community in Central California. The community is located in Visalia in the San Joaquin Valley, approximately midway between Los Angeles and the Bay Area. The sellers, a Chicago-based private equity firm, acquired Park Visalia in 2014, investing in several capital improvement projects and bringing in a California-based third party management company to turnaround operations. However, after the first year occupancy remained constantly below market levels, the owner elected to transition the operations to a Midwest-based provider that stabilized key leadership staff positions and improved occupancy and cash flow. The buyer was a privately held real estate investment company based on the West Coast, with Park Visalia representing the company’s fourth California seniors housing acquisition in the past two years. The buyer plans to remodel the community, including the addition of a secured memory care wing. The purchase price was not disclosed. The new owner will transition management to a new operator that has several other communities in California. Jacob Gehl, Ben Firestone, and Michael Segal of Blueprint were the lead advisors on the transaction.

This rings even more true in the face of today’s increasingly stringent financing requirements — a critical project element that can push construction schedules out by months and, in the process, create challenges with accurate pro forma data, true labor schedules and pricing. The balance between schedule shifts and a backlog of work has proven particularly challenging for the entire industry, and presumably shows no sign of relief. For optimal success, teams must diligently focus on cross-functional communication, design-build principles and early strategic planning to protect from the pitfalls of 2017’s momentum. Focusing on this early planning gives clients two of the greatest advantages available in our current building climate: a forum for unearthing issues proactively and time to plan for solutions. In cases where design-build isn’t possible, teams can still capture the benefits of this concept by getting the right knowledge leaders at the table early on, providing significant results to project cost savings, resource management and logistics planning. The Labor Issue While the industry jockeys …
