Liberty Senior Living is setting itself up for continued growth by creating the position of Chief Investment Officer and hiring Max Newland to fill it. Newland had many encounters with Liberty over the years, partnering with the operator on numerous deals for more than a decade while leading the seniors housing team at Kayne Anderson Real Estate. More recently, after Newland launched his own investment firm Newland Realty Capital in 2024, he joint-ventured with Liberty and Cerberus Capital Management to acquire The Carlisle Palm Beach earlier this year.
During his career, Newland has acquired, developed and managed senior living communities throughout the U.S., and worked with joint ventures overseeing day-to-day management. As CIO at Liberty, he will enhance the company’s investment strategy by identifying opportunities, optimizing capital deployment and positioning Liberty for long-term value creation.
Newland’s career in investments began in 1999, after graduating from the University of North Carolina with a degree in economics and starting in investment banking in New York. He later earned his MBA from Columbia University and in 2004, made his first investment in seniors housing, as principal, with a property acquisition in downtown Philadelphia.
