Situated on a prime site in the attractive Mason submarket, the community opened in late 2017 offering high-end design and finishes, top of the line amenities, and was conveyed with an adjacent parcel of land well-suited to an Independent Living expansion

The partnership decided to pursue a strategic sale of the community to recycle capital and looked to Blueprint to maximize value on both the existing real estate and the embedded expansion option which no longer fit their collective capital deployment plan

Launch timing was supported by Anthology achieving outsized growth in 2023 rental rates and care revenue, coupled with strong occupancy, which drove meaningful margin expansion through launch and marketing and bolstered the process by demonstrating the community’s operational and financial potential

Blueprint’s marketing process focused on a diversified outreach to Ohio focused operators, developers, and Not-for-Profits, as well as a subset of regionally focused investors. This approach led to a robust and diverse bidder group representing an established and growing owner-operator, an all-cash institutional buyer, and Community First Solutions, a regionally focused Not-for-Profit

Ultimately Community First Solutions emerged as the winning bidder and successfully closed the transaction efficiently, cooperatively, and ahead of schedule
