ESI Brokers $7.6M Sale of Skilled Nursing Facility in Fort Collins, Colorado

by Amy Works August 11, 2023

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.

Portland Industrial Poised for Growth, Despite Rising Subleases

by Jeff Shaw August 11, 2023

— By Keegan Clay, Executive Director, Cushman & Wakefield — The Portland metro industrial market is well poised for investment and rent growth into 2024, despite an increase in sublease space coming to market. Portland has experienced many great trends, particularly in the past few years, including year-over-year double-digit rent growth, compressed cap rates, positive net absorption (occupancy growth), strong tenant demand, all-time low vacancy at 2.5 percent and land prices tripling in a short timespan. Such movement has led to increased competition and investment in the Portland region. We have seen an increase in sublease space hitting the market over the past five months to the tune of more than 2 million square feet. The majority of this relinquished space has stemmed from just a few users. Many of these subleases are a result of acquisitions with companies looking to increase efficiencies by eliminating redundancies. Some industrial users have consolidated out of market, including a major home goods business (648,000 square feet), while others have grown their real estate position in Portland. This includes a leading B2B electrical and industrial distribution company (293,000 square feet). Year to date, we have yet to see any of the larger …

by Amy Works August 10, 2023

GREAT FALLS, MONT. — Community Preservation Partners (CPP) has acquired two affordable seniors housing communities in Great Falls: Sunshine Village and Broadview Manor East & West. CPP plans to renovate both properties, and has partnered with The Hampstead Cos., which will be the owner and co-developer. This is the second project closing in Montana for CPP and Hampstead together, totaling three communities in the area. CPP and Hampstead’s total development investment is approximately $23.1 million, which includes the purchase price of $10.8 million and an estimated renovation cost of $72,850 per unit. The properties’ HUD subsidy was set to expire, but with CPP and Hampstead’s involvement the homes will now remain affordable and prevent displacement of residents earning up to 50 percent and 60 percent of the area median income (AMI) until 2074. “New affordable housing developments in the Great Falls area have significant waitlists, so the preservation and modernization of the existing affordable housing stock is important to the residents of this community,” says Karen Buckland, vice president at CPP. Built in 1979, Sunshine Village features 72 one- and two-bedroom units in a single three-story building. Also built in 1979, the Broadview Manor properties offer three- and four-bedroom units. …
