Blueprint Turns Two in Ohio

Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors recently announced its involvement in a pair of skilled nursing transactions in Ohio.

First up, the Chicago-based brokerage handled the sale of a 99-bed SNF in Northeast Ohio for a regional owner-operator. The transaction was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the original buyer pausing the deal; that same party eventually re-emerged as the winner of a three-investor bidding process. Managing director Connor Doherty and associate Ryan Kelly handled the transaction for Blueprint.

The brokerage also oversaw the sale of Hickory Creek of Hicksville, a 61-bed SNF in Defiance County, Ohio — about 40 minutes away from Fort Wayne, Ind. Blueprint represented the former owner, a real estate investment trust (REIT) that was leasing the property to a non-profit operator, in an off-market deal.

Doherty, Kelly, and senior managing director Michael Segal oversaw the Hickory Creek transaction.
