Interest in senior housing is expected to remain strong in 2019 as the majority of investors say they plan to increase the size of their portfolios in this market.
A CBRE research report says investors are most interested in independent living, assisted living and active-adult markets.
CBRE recently completed the sale of The Country Club of La Cholla, a 217-unit independent and assisted living community, to a Chicago-based private equity fund.
Matthew Whitlock, with CBRE National Senior Housing, represented the seller, an Irvine, Calif.-based affiliate of MBK Senior Living. CBRE’s Aron Will represented the buyer, CPF Living Communities. The sale price was not disclosed.
“The Country Club at La Cholla is a premier, full-service senior living community in the Tucson area with an appropriate mix of luxury independent living and assisted-living units,” Whitlock said. “The transaction represented the sale of a first-class community with high stabilized occupancy by a sophisticated seller, and an acquisition by an extremely knowledgeable buyer capable of recognizing the inherent current value of the community.”
The property sits on 10.6 acres at 8700 N. La Cholla Blvd. and features amenities such as a barber shop, piano lounge and a library. It is 97 percent occupied.
