Joint Venture Receives Acquisition Financing
BMO’s Healthcare Real Estate Finance group announced its role in providing acquisition financing to IRA Capital and Principal Asset Management for their purchase of an 89-unit seniors housing community in Gilbert, Arizona. American Care Concepts and Reichmann International Realty Advisors developed American Groves Senior Living in 2021 and have owned it since then.

LTC Properties added two Kentucky assets in the Nashville, Tennessee MSA, to its SHOP portfolio through an off-market transaction.

SLIB Handles Michigan Portfolio Deal
A seniors housing portfolio in Michigan traded hands with the help of Dan Geraghty, Brad Clousing and Jeff Binder of Senior Living Investment Brokerage. Set in secondary markets, the portfolio consists of four late-1990s vintage properties that are well maintained and well regarded in their respective communities. They also experienced continued occupancy growth throughout 2025 but still represented an opportunity for a new regional owner/operator to hit the ground running in boosting performance through a hands-on management approach and leveraging existing referral networks. A national owner/operator deemed the portfolio no longer fit with its long-term operational objectives and slated... Read More »
