Scribner Capital and William James Group Co-Sponsor Seniors Housing Acquisition

New Venture Acquires Two Georgia Seniors Housing Communities

JULY 19, 2022 - Scribner Capital, LLC (“Scribner”) and William James Group, LLC (“WJG”) co-sponsored a joint venture to acquire a portfolio of two seniors housing communities in Georgia. Scribner provided co-sponsor equity and leveraged its network of high-net-worth investors to provide the limited partner equity. WJG provided co-sponsor equity as well and will operate the communities on behalf of the venture.

The newly formed partnership acquired River Place, a 40-bed assisted living and memory care community, and Sunny Grove, a 34-bed assisted living and memory care community. The two communities are located between Atlanta and Macon, Georgia. The portfolio was developed by a local owner-operator and are less than twelve miles apart. They have maintained strong occupancy and financial performance throughout the pandemic.

River Place, in Forsyth, Georgia, is an assisted living and memory care was built in 2017. It is conveniently located just off I-75 and adjacent to a high-end residential development that includes golf and equestrian facilities. Sunny Grove, in nearby Barnesville, Georgia, was built in 2007 and expanded in 2015. The portfolio has maintained 90%+ occupancy for several years, and Sunny Grove has the capacity to add both additional assisted living units as well as independent living cottages.

While the communities are stabilized and have historically performed well, WJG with its depth of experience has identified areas of improvement on both the revenue and expenses sides.

Jimmy Justice, Co-Founder of William James Group, said, "We are excited about the opportunity to add two communities to our management platform and look forward to future acquisitions. We anticipate significant opportunities to expand the partnership and acquire similar assets throughout the southeast.”

“We have been looking for the right opportunity to co-sponsor an acquisition and found a great partner in William James Group. We look forward to growing together for many years and actively pursuing deals. This a great example of our ability to deliver both co-sponsor capital as well as joint venture equity to a growing operator,” said Mr. Scribner.

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.
