TODAY’S DEALS: Clarion Partners Grabs $100M Seniors Portfolio
Clarion Partners acquires three senior housing communities for $100 million; ARA completes an REO sale in Florida; and Alliant Capital arranges a $1.7 million refinance at 4.78 percent interest rate.
California—Clarion Partners has closed the $100 million acquisition of three Class A seniors housing properties in California. The 586-unit portfolio was picked up in an off market transaction that was facilitated by Marcus & Millichap. The move bolsters the $22 billion worth of assets currently under Clarion Partners’ belt.
The three properties include the 115-unit Buena Vida at Town Center in Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif., the 264-unit Village on the Green in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., and the 207-unit Oak View in Sonoma Hills, Calif. The communities are all of recent construction. A clubhouse at each property includes a heated pool, fitness center, screening room, library and business center. The communities all have occupancy rates above 95 percent.
“With this acquisition, we are targeting one of the strongest segments of demand with the current real estate market—senior housing units suitable for the aging Baby Boomer population,” says Richard Pink, managing director at Clarion Partners.
According to Clarion’s research, the number of seniors will increase by two million per year starting in 2015.
