Blueprint conducted an exclusive marketing process on behalf of an Illinois-based owner-operator seeking to shift focus to other owned and recently acquired facilities. Blueprint strategically highlighted the positive cash flow impact of Missouri’s Medicaid rate increase, along with the portfolio’s exclusive location near Barnes-Jewish Hospital.

The strategy effectively procured several uniquely structured proposals from various investors and operators. A growing operator with a presence in the state was ultimately selected for its commitment to capital improvements and creative deal structure involving a market-term lease and an attractive purchase option.

The transaction was arranged by Ben Firestone, Michael Segal, and Billy Lichtenstein.
