Community occupancy was in excess of 90% at the time of launch and consistently above 95% throughout the process

While the community produced nearly-stable cash flows, Blueprint positioned the community’s continued rate growth and expense normalization as value-add opportunities for incoming investors

Blueprint’s marketing process targeted both private equity buyers looking to recapitalize and form a new venture with the incumbent operator as well as owner-operators looking to expand their Class A footprint in the Midwest

Ultimately Cedarhurst Senior Living, a vertically integrated developer, owner, and operator emerged from a competitive bidding process and retained Blueprint Capital Markets to bolster its financing efforts and diversify its outreach

Blueprint worked closely with Cedarhurst to canvas a shortlist of banks, life companies, and agency lenders to maximize optionality and increase decision certainty during a time of market unease and turbulence. After a thorough evaluation of the options, Cedarhurst selected a very compelling offer from a regional bank looking to grow its already established presence in the market

The transaction closed smoothly, collaboratively, on-time, and at the agreed-upon LOI price
