Scribner Capital and William James Group Add to Partnership

    Existing Venture Acquires Third Georgia Seniors Housing Community

     

    APRIL 2, 2024 - Scribner Capital, LLC (“Scribner”) and William James Group, LLC (“WJG”) acquired Insignia of Newnan, which will be rebranded as The Haven at Newnan. The Haven at Newnan is being added to an existing joint venture that previously acquired two Georgia seniors housing communities.

     

    Simultaneously with the transaction, Scribner and WJG acquired the remaining general partner equity interest thereby increasing their commitment to the venture.

     

    The Haven at Newnan, consisting of 40 assisted living and memory care units, is stable with an excellent reputation for care and a strong on-site team. In 2022, the partnership acquired River Place, a 40-unit assisted living and memory care community, and Sunny Grove, a 34-unit assisted living and memory care community; both communities have maintained strong occupancy and cash flow since our acquisition. The portfolio is strategically located between Atlanta, Macon and Columbus.

     

    The Haven at Newnan was recently updated on the interior. The business plan includes replacing the roof and gutters, updating the front porch and entrance as well as lighting, landscaping and signage to complement the updated interiors.

     

    Jimmy Justice, Co-Founder of William James Group, said, "We are excited about the opportunity to add Haven at Newnan to the William James Group portfolio. We anticipate more opportunities to expand the partnership and acquire similar assets throughout the southeast.”

     

    “We have been looking for the right situation to expand our Georgia portfolio and the Newnan community presented an exceptional opportunity. We were fortunate to have great partners to consummate a transaction in a difficult capital market environment,” said Mr. Scribner.

     

    This marks the 16th seniors housing equity investment by Scribner to go along with three debt investments. In addition to Scribner’s capital solutions with its institutional capital partner, it can also provide flexible sponsor-level capital and joint venture equity through its proprietary network of accredited investors.

        July 10, 2023 - Scribner Capital, LLC (“Scribner”), a firm dedicated to providing capital solutions to the seniors housing and healthcare industry, along with its institutional capital partner, provided joint venture equity to Winterpast Capital Partners (“WCP”) and its affiliated operating partner, Vitality Living, for the acquisition of two seniors housing communities.


        On June 30th, the newly formed partnership acquired Vitality Living Franklin in Franklin, Tennessee, and Vitality Living Hendersonville in nearby Hendersonville, Tennessee. In total, the portfolio consists of 256 assisted living and memory care units.

Vitality Living Franklin is located 16 miles southwest of downtown Nashville and Vitality Living Hendersonville is located 13 miles northeast of downtown Nashville.


        The seller was an affiliate of the original developer and built the communities to be competitive for the long-term. The communities are highly amenitized with fitness centers, dining rooms, lounge areas, movie theaters, cafes and more. These newly branded Vitality Living communities will receive approximately $5 million in capital investments over the first year to address deferred certain maintenance and improve their competitive positioning.


        Formerly operated by an out-of-state developer/operator exiting the industry and owned in partnership with an institutional investor for nearly a decade, WCP and Vitality Living, headquartered in nearby Brentwood, Tennessee, will provide expectational local support to the portfolio.


        Blanding Beatty, Managing Principal of WCP & Chief Investment Officer of Vitality Living, said, "As a Nashville-based company, we are excited to add these local communities to our portfolio and broaden our capital relationships. This is our first acquisition with Scribner and they were a true partner throughout the entire acquisition process.”


        Chris Guay, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Vitality Living, added, “Hendersonville and Franklin are now part of the Vitality Living family. The two communities fit nicely into our geographic footprint as well as their institutional size and quality. We look forward to executing on our business plan to bring the best out of these assets for the residents, staff, and local community.”


        “Given current market conditions, this was a true team effort, and we could not be more pleased with the outcome. The profile of the deal fits our capital perfectly, and the opportunity to partner with WCP and Vitality on an acquisition in their backyard made it special,” said James Scribner, Principal of Scribner Capital.


        This marks the 13th senior housing equity investment by Scribner to go along with three debt investments. With the ability to move quickly and invest throughout the capital stack, Scribner and its institutional capital partner focus on joint venture equity deals such as these, as well as preferred equity and mezzanine debt.
