A Southern California independent living community that recently changed hands is in for a smooth transition, as its in-place operator stepped in as its buyer. Located in Oxnard (about 75 miles up the coast from Los Angeles), the 136-unit community was originally developed in 2017 by The Wolff Company and operated by Clearwater Living, a regional operator of nine other communities in the West.
As part of the development agreement, Clearwater was expected to take over ownership of the property, which will be the first that it owns outright. The community just opened earlier in 2018 and is currently filling up, but its location should help that fill some units, as it is adjacent to a 600,000-square foot lifestyle retail center, including restaurants, shops and theaters, called The Collection at Riverpark.
