Investor Group Buys Naples Community

Investor Group Buys Naples Community

A group of investors picked up a value-add seniors housing community in Naples, Florida. Built in 1999, North Haven Senior Living features 132 units of assisted living and memory care. It appears that Brookdale Senior Living previously operated the community, which showed very well and did not require much in terms of capex. We understand that occupancy improved significantly during the sale process, as well. Silver Wave Capital announced the purchase (its sixth overall), along with lead investor Persimmon Ventures and operating partner Senior Living Asset Management, which will take over management of the community. Ten other seniors housing investors participated in the deal, including... Read More »
Brookdale’s Uneven Recovery

Brookdale’s Uneven Recovery

They have a new CEO, COO and a new operational structure, in addition to exiting more than 100 communities in the last year. But the mixed bag of results can be frustrating from shareholders’ point of view, especially as they see a disconnect between Brookdale’s anemic performance and headlines on strong sector fundamentals, healthy and rising occupancy levels across the sector and in most Brookdale markets, and appealing opportunities for growth. Plus, it is on top of many years of underperformance to... Read More »

There were a total of 460 functional beds, and they were spread across Rockledge, Naples, Venice and Sarasota.
