You have to hand it to Jonathan Litt of Land & Buildings, he has not given up on the senior care sector. After going after a few provider companies in the pre-COVID past, he recently set his sights on Ventas. But, Big Deb did not quake in her heels. She never does. As is his way, Litt tried to get a position on the Ventas Board, and after meeting with two separate groups of directors, he apparently thought that he made a good impression and had swayed them. Wrong. Right after his March 7 letter to Ventas shareholders, Ventas announced the appointment of a new board member, but his name was not Litt. Extremely qualified, yes, but not Litt. In Litt’s letter, he indicated his “tremendous... Read More »A Conversation on the Bridge Lending Market with Oxford Finance

From January to February, the weighted average occupancy dropped just 10 basis points to 73.3%. Even better, the month-end occupancy increased by 20 basis points from the end of January to 74.4%. The problem is that census at the end of September was 74.2%, so we have seen little overall... Read More »Schedule a demo
