DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Marcus & Millichap (NYSE:MMI) today announced its Institutional Property Advisors (IPA) division has closed the sale of a seniors housing portfolio comprised of 33 skilled nursing facilities with approximately 4,200 licensed beds and some “shovel-ready” development opportunities in South Central Texas. The transaction is the largest seniors housing sale on record in Texas.

Joshua Jandris, Mark Myers, Peyton Stanforth, and Charles Hilding, all with IPA, represented the seller, Regency Post-Acute Healthcare System, and procured the buyer, Capital Senior Ventures. Timothy Speck is Marcus & Millichap’s broker of record in Texas.

Donald Kivowitz, the seller, is the founder and chairman of Regency, which manages a conglomerate of over 120 limited partnerships and corporations.

“Over the last 26 years, we built a valuable business with 33 skilled nursing facilities,” said Kivowitz. “We have an excellent therapy company, a consulting company, a construction company, and a pharmacy. Ultimately we ended up with 4,300 employees taking care of 3,800 elderly and sick people. We also incorporated a skilled unit for rehabilitation where we provided services for patients who came in anywhere from two weeks to two months after hip and knee replacement surgeries. Regency constantly focused on good patient care. We always knew that was the way to build a successful business. We treated our patients and our employees like family.”

Jandris said, “There are companies with more beds and more buildings that have sold, but perhaps the reason we were able to get the value we did was that Regency not only built their buildings, they owned them, operated them, handled every facet of the business and touched every base within their space, and that created a lot of value.”

“This is one of the largest portfolio sales of skilled nursing facilities since the $6.1 billion sale of HCR ManorCare’s portfolio to HCP back in 2011,” said Myers, executive director, IPA.

“Mark and I have closed over $4 billion in long-term care and seniors housing assets over the past two decades and encountered many unique buyers and operators,” said Jandris, senior director, IPA. “Due to our specialization and experience, we were able to bring Regency offers from a range of unique buyers, including a family office, a publicly traded REIT, a privately traded REIT, and a private equity fund; all were credible buyers. We were able to generate three offers for Regency right away, from a targeted pool of buyers.”

Kivowitz stated he very was fortunate to meet Joshua Jandris and Mark Myers. “I was impressed with them and their tenacity; they were incredibly honest and straight forward. They made some representations that they could accomplish something. I trusted them, and it all came to fruition. This is a mutually beneficial relationship. I am proud of it.”
