Blueprint assessed the marketability of the assets both as development plays and as communities in lease up under various structures with prospective operating partners. While initially an abstract mission, Blueprint identified a path by which Silver would enter into a marketable lease with a best-in-class operator in Silverado, known for its specific expertise in operating memory care communities. This effectively transformed the offering from a speculative C of O deal into a net lease investment opportunity featuring attractive yield through rental income

Through its marketing campaign, Blueprint competitively positioned the opportunity to the investment community as a multiple of contractual rent, mitigating the lease up risk. This broadened the pool of target acquirers to include REITs and other yield seeking investors amidst a relatively uncertain market environment

As it zeroed in on a REIT buyer, Blueprint worked closely with the Seller and its partner Silverado to optimize the investment structure to accommodate specific REIT requirements. Ultimately, National Health Investors, the Murfreesboro, Tennessee-based REIT, was selected as the buyer

The total purchase price was $37,500,000, representing $312,500 per unit and a yield of 7.5% on rent
