SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., Sept. 05, 2017 -- CareTrust REIT, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTRE) announced today that it acquired three skilled nursing facilities in Idaho as part of a staged seven-facility portfolio transaction. All seven facilities will be added to CareTrust REIT's existing master lease with affiliates of Idaho-based Cascadia Healthcare, LLC. The acquisition of the remaining four Idaho facilities is expected to be completed before year-end.
“With this first tranche of the transaction closed, Cascadia has achieved critical mass in Idaho, and is well-positioned to become the state’s leading post-acute care operator,” said Mark Lamb, CareTrust REIT’s Director of Investments.
Owen Hammond, Cascadia's co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, added, “We are very excited to expand our patient-focused platform across Idaho, and honored to strengthen our relationship with CareTrust REIT.”
When completed, the total purchase price for the seven-property, 571-bed portfolio will be approximately $65.5 million, inclusive of transaction costs, and is expected to generate additional annual cash rent of approximately $5.9 million. The amended Cascadia master lease has a remaining initial term of approximately 13.5 years, with two five-year renewal options and CPI-based rent escalators. CareTrust REIT funded the acquisition using cash on hand and its $400 million unsecured revolving credit facility.
