One of California’s largest operators of skilled nursing facilities plans to build its second North Bay location, a 59-bed operation in southwest Santa Rosa.

An affiliate of Plum Healthcare Group, LLC, purchased 4.02 acres of land at 2230 Challenger Way in the Northpoint Corporate Center business park on Jan. 30 for $1.45 million, according to public records and a brokerage involved in the deal.

Plans call for construction of a 37,000-square-foot skilled nursing facility on the property, according to Cushman & Wakefield, whose agents helped represent the buyer, Anvil Development, LLC.

Plum Healthcare’s development team didn’t return calls for comment on the Santa Rosa project.

Plum is one of the two largest skilled-nursing-facility operators in California, according to an extensive Sacramento Bee investigation into this segment of health care. Co-CEOs Mark Ballif and Paul Hubbard started Plum in 1999, and it is based in the San Diego suburb of San Marcos.

The company buys, leases and operates as many as five dozen nursing facilities in California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona. In July, Plum said it operated 30 in Northern California alone, including the 130-bed Napa Valley Care Center.

Representing Anvil Development, LLC, Plum’s entity in buying the Santa Rosa land, were Travis Ives of Cushman & Wakefield and Matt Davis, Terry Jackson and Curtis Buono of The Land Group. Shawn Johnson of Santa Rosa-based Keegan & Coppin Co. Inc./ONCOR International represented seller A.J. Ventures Inc., a real estate-owned entity held by the mortgage lender, Exchange Bank.
