Ziegler’s $67M Skilled Nursing Portfolio Deal; Monticello’s $66M Acquisition Funding

Chicago-based specialty investment bank Ziegler this week announced the successful sale of a three-building skilled nursing portfolio on behalf of former owner Emerald Shelter Group.

The buyer, a joint venture between an owner-operator group and a private equity firm, paid $67 million for the three properties in Wilmington, Newark, and Lewes, Del.

Based in Nashville, Emerald Shelter Group operates a variety of senior housing and care properties; Ziegler fielded 22 offers for the portfolio during the marketing process, despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

“We appreciate the opportunity to work with one of our non-traditional not-for-profit clients to allow them to divest out of a geographic region not in their core markets,” Ziegler managing director Don Husi said in a statement. “This transaction allows Emerald Shelter Group to significantly strengthen its balance sheet and re-position the organization for future growth in senior housing and care assets.”

The portfolio consists of 430 dual-certified skilled nursing beds and 43 independent living apartments, with about 90% occupancy; the SNF bed count represents 8% of the total available supply in Delaware.
