The Keys to Success

At a time when seniors housing values are still around a record-high (averaging nearly $200,000 per unit for assisted living and over $230,000 per unit for independent living in the four quarters ended September 30, 2016), a group of local operators in Pennsylvania is exiting the market.

Developed by the selling group, the Keystone Villa Portfolio is located across three campuses between Harrisburg and Philadelphia and features 509 total units. The Douglassville location was built in two phases in 2004 and 2008 as a 123-unit independent living community, but has since added in 2009 and 2013, 124... Read More »
