Senior Living Development Feasibility

With the increasing number of seniors housing transactions trading at a large premium to the replacement cost (sometimes double), along with the increased availability of construction debt, there seems to be a renewed energy in the seniors housing development space. However, what makes a seniors housing development project feasible?

Simply put, a development project is feasible with the expected returns are greater than (or equal to) the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). But, what is the WACC of each project, and how is it calculated? As an equation, the WACC is a percentage-based average of the cost of debt added to the cost of equity (WACC = (% debt x cost of debt) + (% equity x cost of equity)). Since the equity is in a riskier position then the debt (remember, the debt holder will always be paid first), the cost of equity is always higher than the cost of debt.

Let’s say you receive a 75% loan-to-cost construction loan with an effective (inclusive of loan fees, etc.) interest rate of 6%. Also, let’s say you were able to secure the remaining 25% equity from an investor expecting to make a total return of 20%. Multiplying these together will give you the implied WACC of 9.5% ((75% x 6%) + (25% x 20%)). In other words, you would need an unleveraged internal rate of return (IRR, or annualized total return) higher than or equal to 9.5% for the project to be feasible.

Since the internal rate of return includes a holding period assumption and uncertain exit cap rate (to be discussed in a later article), another simpler way to analyze the feasibility of the project is to measure the WACC to the stabilized yield-to-cost. The stabilized yield-to-cost is similar to a cap rate, but divides the expected stabilized net operating income by the total development budget (YTC = stab. income / dev. budget). The development budget should include all fees and costs needed to fully stabilize the project (including pre-marketing costs, development fees, and lease-up/interest reserves). So, for a senior housing development project to be feasible, the stabilized YTC must be higher than the WACC. Also, the selected market rates, care charges, and operating margin should be carefully analyzed to determine the suitability of the proforma assumptions. Since the annual income drives both feasibility metrics, an unrealistic proforma model can artificially inflate or deflate the returns.

Last, one of the most important metrics to determine the feasibility of the seniors housing development project is to analyze the total development budget on a per unit basis. If the development per unit cost is too high, there is risk that another developer will construct a less expensive seniors housing project down the street, be able to charge lower rates/fees, and most likely drive down your operating performance. But, what is an appropriate development cost per unit? Unfortunately, this varies from market-to-market (varying land costs, entitlement, licensure, CON, construction costs), and operator-to-operator (varying pre-marketing costs, management fees, lease-up reserves), but generally can be compared on a segmented basis by allocating the land costs, hard costs, soft costs, FF&E, contingencies, developer fees, pre-marketing costs, and reserves.

    Scott,
    Your article is a great clinic on WACC in the Senior Living Industry. We are looking for a US Senior Living Industry average WACC to be used for estimating the Customer Long-Term Value (CLTV) of senior living residents. Do you have any suggestions where one might find estimates of average US Senior Living Industry WACC?

    Здравствуйте, мы производим отделку в помещении для процедур лечения пиявками. Подскажите какова [url=http://rasfokus.ru/alemigun]цена стяжки и расценки на Крепкий пол для здания из легких стальных конструкций лстк?[/url] Какую толщину механизированной стяжки пола допускается делать в помещении? Каким образом рассчитать состав и стоимость? Стяжка и/или Полусухая стяжка имеет нижеследующие достоинства и минусы:
    Достоинства
    Полусухая стяжка монтируется на любые виды основания, повышая при этом тепло-, влаго- и шумоизоляцию помещения. Среди основных преимуществ:
    отличная прочность
    приемлемая стоимость материалов, перекрывающая траты на услуги команды профессионалов
    выгодный случай замаскировать под полом провода
    допустимость устройства теплого пола
    Недостатки
    Недостатки полусухой стяжки пола: Трудоемкость замешивания вручную. При нем не получится добиться необходимой консистенции состава из-за его низкой текучести. Поэтому требуется специальное оснащение. Потребность монтировать большой слой состава. Это обусловлено пористой фактурой и низкой плотностью сухой заготовки. Кстати, по работе приходится много ездить. В связи с этим ловите лайфхак: великолепно экономить бензин позволяют топливные карты. Думаю пригодится. Снижение сделок по недвижимости. Вследствие сокращения спроса на жилую недвижимость и спроса на землю под новые проекты компании стали аккуратнее подходить к приобретению земельных участков под новое строительство, что уже привело к снижению по результатам минувшего года договоров в этом сегменте на 15-20 %. Вкладываться в покупку участков готовы чаще всего застройщики, увеличившие прибыль на фоне сенсационных продаж, и региональные компании. Но их стоимостные требования нередко разнятся с ценой предложения, поясняют специалисты. На этой волне количество инвестиций в землю в текущем году сохранится ограниченным.

    Hello everybody!

    I am Nastya, I am 27 years old, I live in France, and I want to tell you an interesting story from the world of magic and mysticism.
    I was skeptical about magic, love spells, and other events that can be seen on thematic sites, but once in my life an irreparable situation happened, and a friend advised me to turn to professional magicians.
    I first looked through the information, by the way I found a good website https://www.privorotna.ru
    ,there are no paid services, just everything is on the case and without advertising!
    Then I found a real witch from Sweden, and paid for the ceremony, and everything turned out, I don’t know how, but what needed to be fixed in My life began to come true!
    I advise you to try these techniques, magic and sentences really work!

    Good luck!

    Здравствуйте, товарищи! [url=https://auto.rin.ru/cgi-bin/main.pl?id_par=60]

    Механизированная
    полусухая стяжка полов[/url] , даже когда она была смонтирована четко в соответствии с грамотной инструкцией, со временем портится. Это объяснимо, ведь она испытывает на себе большие нагрузки от веса напольного покрытия, предметов, движения людей и прочих динамических факторов. В связи с чем для исключения тотальной утраты ее эксплуатационных качеств время от времени нужно делать починку стяжки пола. О характеристиках стяжки необходимо узнать, когда вы мониторите стоимость дома из легких стальных конструкций либо других материалов.

    Чтобы иметь представление об уровне повреждения поверхности, сначала нужно полностью снять прежнее покрытие, очистить пол от мусора, пыли и грязи. Далее нужно определиться с типом дефекта и ремонта, который надо будет выполнить.

    Может возникнуть один из следующих вариантов:

    Гладкая поверхность имеет неглубокие ямки и немного трещин, повышен уровень возникновения пыли. Такие изъяны нестрашны, они несложно устраняются при минимальной затрате времени и денег.
    Стяжка расслаивается, поверхность довольно глубоко потрескалась в отдельных участках. Этот тип повреждений подлежит починке, но надо будет задействовать особые строительные составы.
    Поверхность значительно искривлена, пол покрыт серьезными трещинами. Ремонт дефектов такой серьезности доступен только мастерам, владеющим определенными знаниями и оснащением.
