Marcus & Millichap Arranges Sale of Two Senior Living Properties

Marcus & Millichap has arranged the sale of Ashwood Retirement Community, a 105-unit, 135-bed assisted living facility in a north side suburb of Austin, Texas. The facility was owned by a private owner/operator from West Texas who plans to retire from the senior housing business.

The property was purchased by McFarlin Group, an owner/operator based in Dallas, and will be managed by Surpass Senior Living. McFarlin plans a complete repositioning of the asset, including an extensive renovation of the original building and an expansion component on a portion of the unused developable excess land. McFarlin Group will also convert the facility to 100% private pay.

The pro forma EBITDAR is $875,000—just shy of a 13.5% cap on the pro forma.  

The facility was built in 1986 on four acres as a medical office building and was renovated and converted to assisted living in 1998. The asset has a HUD loan that was assumed by McFarlin Group. Marcus & Millichap brought the asset to market with a minimum bid. The IPA team that represented the seller was led by Mark Myers, Josh Jandris and Ryan Fleming. 

In addition, Marcus & Millichap arranged the sale of River Valley Supportive Living Residence, an 80-unit, 98-bed supportive living facility located in Kankakee, Illinois.

The facility was originally built as a hotel in 1972 and was converted and fully renovated into a supportive living facility (SLF) in 2003. The building sits on two acres of land and is four stories. The buyer is planning to renovate the facility.

The seller is a private owner/operator based in the Northeast and is exiting the SLF market. The facility was 70% occupied during the marketing process, with a 12.5% margin and EBITDAR of roughly $330,000. The buyer is a private owner/operator based in the Chicago area and is currently in expansion mode for SLFs in Illinois. 

The Marcus & Millichap team of Mary Myers, Josh Jandris, Ryan Fleming and Charles Hilding represented the seller. 

The conservative pro forma constructed by the IPA team pushed EBITDAR north of $800,000 at a 28.5% margin, which corresponded with a 14% cap on the sale price. This was accomplished by an occupancy bump to the mid 80s and a mild reduction in some expense line items.
