Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV Acquires 53-Unit Assisted Living Facility Near St. Louis
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- American Healthcare Investors, LLC and Griffin Capital Company, LLC, the co-sponsors of Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV, Inc., announced today that the REIT has acquired Pinnacle Warrenton Assisted Living Facility, a 53-unit assisted living facility located in the St. Louis suburb of Warrenton, Missouri, for $8.1 million.
The acquisition was completed pursuant to a joint venture with an affiliate of Meridian Senior Living, LLC, which will manage the portfolio on a day-to-day basis. Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV owns approximately 98 percent of the joint venture and acts as its managing member. The facility was acquired under a RIDEA1 structure, which allows for the joint venture partners to participate in both the rental and operational cash flow of the property.
Pinnacle Warrenton Assisted Living Facility totals approximately 34,000 square feet and has an occupancy rate of approximately 91 percent as of the date of acquisition. During the past five years, approximately $1 million in capital investments have been made to modernize and improve the property by the former owner. The facility's payor mix is 100 percent private pay.
Washington, D.C.-based Meridian Senior Living is an experienced senior housing operator, which manages a portfolio valued in excess of $1.3 billion throughout 21 states and the District of Columbia. The company employs more than 4,700 professionals who care for approximately 5,600 senior residents in 86 communities.
"Pinnacle Warrenton Assisted Living Facility is the only licensed property of its type in the area, which we believe will allow us to further increase the already strong occupancy and value of the facility," said Stefan Oh, executive vice president of acquisitions for American Healthcare Investors and Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV. "Additionally, the acquisition further strengthens our relationship with Meridian Senior Living, a sophisticated operator and the day-to-day manager of the building."
The acquisition of Pinnacle Warrenton Assisted Living Facility expands the joint venture relationship between Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV and Meridian Senior Living to a total of 12 senior housing buildings located in Florida, Texas and Missouri.
Pinnacle Warrenton Assisted Living Facility was acquired from Warrenton Clearpath Property Investment, LLC, an unaffiliated third party represented by Jeff Binder of Senior Living Investment Brokerage, Inc. Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV financed the acquisition using cash on hand and borrowings under its revolving line of credit with Bank of America, N.A. and Keybank, National Association.
Griffin-American Healthcare REIT IV purchased its first property in June 2016 and, as of the date of acquisition of Warrenton Assisted Living Facility, has since acquired a 3.0 million-square-foot portfolio of 49 medical office buildings, senior housing facilities and skilled nursing facilities located in 20 states for an aggregate contract purchase price of approximately $618.7 million. Additionally, the company is pursuing approximately $412.3 million in additional pending acquisitions2 which would result in a total portfolio of approximately 98 healthcare buildings located in 22 states comprised of approximately 4.7 million square feet of gross leasable area upon the successful completion of these potential acquisitions.
