SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., Feb. 02, 2017 -- CareTrust REIT, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTRE) announced today that it acquired two seniors housing communities in the Milwaukee metropolitan area. The purchase price was approximately $26.1 million, inclusive of transaction costs. The two communities were added to CareTrust REIT's existing master lease with New York-based operator Premier Senior Living, LLC, which took over operations effective February 1, 2017.
“We are very pleased to add these quality properties to our portfolio and expand our relationship with Premier," said Dave Sedgwick, CareTrust REIT's Vice President of Operations. He noted that with the newly-acquired Wisconsin assets, CareTrust REIT’s relationship with Premier Senior Living now covers eight properties in Wisconsin, Michigan and North Carolina.
Wayne Kaplan, one of Premier Senior Living's co-founders and principals, said, "Premier is delighted to begin operations of these beautiful, resident-focused communities.” Mr. Kaplan continued, “We are honored that CareTrust REIT has entrusted us with these assets, and look forward to building on the legacy of quality care the Applewood team has built."
The portfolio consists of Applewood of Brookfield, a 48-unit assisted living and memory care facility located in Brookfield, Wisconsin, and Applewood of New Berlin, a 40-unit assisted living and memory care facility located in New Berlin, Wisconsin.
The Wisconsin investments are expected to generate additional annual cash rent of $2.16 million, resulting in an initial cash yield of 8.3%. The amended Premier Senior Living master lease has a remaining initial term of approximately 14 years, with two five-year renewal options and CPI-based rent escalators. The acquisition was funded using CareTrust REIT's $400 million unsecured revolving credit facility.
