If you are interested in hearing the conversation, here’s the 90-minute... Read More »

Belmont Village Senior Living developed the two assisted living/memory care properties in Thousand Oaks, California and Scottsdale, Arizona. Built in 2011 and 2012, respectively, the communities were close to full occupancy by the time of the sale. Blue Moon Capital Partners, which matches institutional capital investors with seniors housing operators, was the buyer, with Belmont Village owning a minority... Read More »
