Senior housing activity

A recent quarterly senior housing report found that the sector is benefitting from strong fundamentals. In the third quarter of this year, occupancy rates climbed up to 86.5 percent, marking the 13th consecutive quarter of improvement. Also for the 13th consecutive quarter, absorption outpaced inventory growth, pushing occupancy increases even further.

This week another senior housing portfolio also traded. Bow River Capital sold two 100 percent-private-pay communities in Colorado for $30 million. Together, The Lodge at Greeley and The Lodge at Grand Junction total 140 units.
