Propero: Part Two

Propero: Part Two

by | Aug 26, 2016 8:30 am | Developments, Financings

For those owner/operators that wish to grow their portfolio by development, but also limit the capital needed to get the project started, there is an unconventional option. Launched in 2012, Lancaster Pollard’s first Propero Fund invests in seniors housing properties as the sole owner and then triple-net leases them to an operator, which will then choose from a predetermined purchase option schedule when to acquire the community at a price based on Propero’s investment basis rather than the current fair market value. The success of the product means Lancaster Pollard has moved on to its second Propero fund, which approximately doubles the size of the first in terms of equity commitments.... Read More »

Then, at the beginning of 2016, Civitas purchased two former Brookdale Senior Living properties in Harlingen, and currently has four communities set to open soon in Texas. After... Read More »
