by | Jan 7, 2020 4:15 pm | Acquisitions

The Phoenix, Arizona market has been a hotbed of senior living construction activity thanks to its rapidly growing retiree population, and a large CCRC catering to high-income residents is looking to capture part of that growth with an independent living expansion. Sagewood already has 316 independent living units, 44 assisted living units, 28 memory care units and 78 skilled nursing beds. Demand for independent living was strong (with the IL units fully occupied in 2018), so ownership decided to build a Phase II, which included 101 more units. It was clearly the right decision, as 96% of the new IL units are already presold, with entrance fees projected to average $700,000. Recently, the... Read More »
