Oct. 16, 2018 – SKOKIE, IL – Cascade Capital Group, a private healthcare real estate investment firm, announces the purchase of two skilled nursing facilities located in the Chicago metro area. The facilities, which were purchased in two separate transactions, were previously operated by individual non-for profit hospital systems. The portfolio is comprised of more than 230 beds, with a combined purchase price of less than $10 million dollars. Cascade secured financing through its established lending partner, CIBC Bank USA, formerly The Private Bank.
Cascade leased the facilities to its operational partner, Legacy Healthcare, a recognized premier operator, headquartered in Skokie, IL. Legacy now operates over 30 Cascade skilled nursing facilities, primarily in Chicagoland. These new facilities, Avantara of Elgin and The Grove of St. Charles, join Legacy’s robust portfolio of properties providing a continuum of care in the local markets.
“Cascade was able to acquire these assets at a time when the Chicago market, like many others nationally, is experiencing a downward pricing trend,” commented Yitzy Rosenblum, Cascade’s Vice
President of Acquisitions. “Buying these facilities at a great value, under $50,000/bed, will allow us and our operator to invest the necessary capital to help restore these facilities, both aesthetically and operationally.”
“We have had the privilege of working with the Cascade and Legacy teams for many years and are confident in their ability to continue to create transformational facilities that provide a high standard of care for the residents while achieving financial success,” said Michael Monticello, Managing Director at CIBC. “It was great to work with Cascade Capital and provide financing for the acquisition of these new Illinois facilities,” added Chris Gibson, Managing Director at CIBC.
