Leaving the Lone Star State

Civitas Senior Living is expanding its operations outside of Texas for the first time, as it is set to break ground on a senior living community in Louisville, Kentucky. Civitas has been one of the more active developers/acquirers in Texas (and that’s saying something). In 2015 alone, the company opened five new assisted living/memory care communities, and, after forming a new post-acute care division, also acquired two skilled nursing facilities plus an assisted living community in the town of Jefferson, Texas. 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 »

Civitas Senior Living purchased two former Brookdale Senior Living communities (with 58 independent living, 65 assisted living and 36 memory care units) in Harlingen, Texas (Brownsville MSA) for an undisclosed price. Civitas will take over operations and commence renovations to the common areas early this year. This is not the first acquisition for the fast-growing developer, however, which last September announced a new post-acute care... Read More »

Opportunistic Texas developers growing in-state and out

Civitas Senior Living is flexible when it comes to its growth. With the right deal and the right partner, the company develops assisted living/memory care communities with the intent of owning and operating them outright, co-owning with a development partner or being brought in as a third-party manager with a smaller ownership stake. They’ll build independent living where it’s needed too. With three properties open, and two of them stabilized in Winnsboro (East Texas) and Mesquite (Dallas MSA) with 94% occupancy, Civitas has five communities under construction, with two set to open in March 2015 in Midlothian (North Texas) and Austin, two in June 2015 in Flower Mound and Allen (both Dallas...
