Lancaster Pollard’s Propero Seniors Housing Equity Fund teamed up with Tender Loving Care Management (TLC) for the second time to provide equity for a to-be-built senior living community in Florida.

Confluent Opens Five Communities Across the Country

Confluent Opens Five Communities Across the Country

The general consensus (with several dissenters) is that senior living construction has (finally) slowed down, after a long period of overdevelopment in many markets. Considering the downstream effects of this, from a tighter, more expensive labor market to lower occupancy, the slowdown is a good thing, especially since most of those elusive baby boomers won’t be moving into senior living any time soon. However, not every market experienced the woes of overdevelopment, and Confluent Senior Living announced that it has recently opened five senior living communities away from those biggest problem areas (were looking at you, Houston). Partnering with MorningStar Senior Living, Confluent... Read More »
