Civitas Developing New Active Adult Community
Civitas Capital Group, a Dallas-based alternative investment manager focused on U.S. real estate, announced it has closed on a new development project to expand its presence in the seniors housing space. Terraces at Tree Farm will be developed lake-side in Basalat, Colorado, within the economic hub of Roaring Fork Valley. It will be a Class-A, 72-unit active adult community surrounded by shops, restaurants, trails, offices, condos, apartments and a hotel.

Diversified Healthcare Trust/Office Properties Trust Deal in Jeopardy
Last April 11, Diversified Healthcare Trust announced a merger (sale) with Office Properties Income Trust whereby DHC shareholders would receive $1.70 in OPI shares for each DHC share, then worth about $1.20 per share. Within weeks the shares plunged by 33% to $0.80 per share. They had been as low as $0.61 per share on December 22, 2022. We suppose management must have been desperate. Something didn’t smell right to a few investors, and shareholder Flat Footed LLC raised the red flag that this was not a deal in the best interests of DHC shareholders. And they fought it. They were not the only ones who decided the merger was not in the best interests of DHC shareholders. Now, three leading... Read More »
