PSL Acquires School District Building, Eyes Possible Campus Expansion

Presbyterian Senior Living’s Hollidaysburg campus recently acquired an adjacent Hollidaysburg Area School District administrative building for an undisclosed price.

Presbyterian Village at Hollidaysburg may at some point use the building for expansion purposes, but it wouldn’t be for senior housing.

“There has been a consistently strong demand for the services provided by PVH, and we have been constrained by the existing property boundaries,” said Stephen Proctor, CEO of PSL. “Based on this demand, we approached the school district staff to inquire if they had an interest in selling the building at some point in the future. After some exploration we were able to reach a mutually beneficial agreement.”

Acquiring the building and parcel of land it occupies “opens up a number of possibilities for expansion in the future,” says Deb Lark, executive director of Presbyterian Village. “While we have no firm plans at this time, we expect to begin exploring options in the coming months.” 

PSL is currently in the process of evaluating the best use of the property. The Hollidaysburg campus has 67 skilled nursing units, 43 assisted living  units, and 30 independent living units.

Indiana Senior Housing Community Sells for $11.6 Million

Senior Living Investment Brokerage, Inc. recently represented an Indiana-based owner in the $11.55 million sale of Woodview Assisted Living and Memory Care in Fort Wayne, Ind.

The senior care community included 58 assisted living units built in 2008 and 30 memory care units built in 2010. The transaction closed 45 days from execution of letter of intent.

The property seller is primarily a multifamily and commercial real estate developer/manager looking to strategically divest Woodview to focus on its core business and take advantage of the strong seniors housing sale smart, SLIB noted. The buyer is a Kentucky-based owner/operator who acquired the property to expand its existing business in the state. 

Woodview was overstaffed and experienced operational inefficiencies under the previous owners, but the owner plans to make adjustments to staffing that will positively impact the bottom line by $30,000 per month. The community’s net operating income is expected to be closer to $1.1 million after implementing new staffing models and increasing operational efficiencies. 

A regional bank provided 100% financing for the acquisition. 

“As evident by the 45 day close from letter of intent, the Seniors Housing acquisition market remains torrid. Now is a great time to sell,” said Ryan Saul, Managing Director at SLIB. “The seller capitalized on the strong market and the buyer expanded their portfolio by acquiring a stable asset with marked upside.”
