  • On June 15, 2022, the Company closed on the sale of its interests in two 55+ communities in New York. The pricing from the sale transaction was very favorable with an implied price per unit of US$145,000.

  • On July 26, 2022, the Company closed on the sale of a medical office building in Orlando, Florida for US$9.85 million. The sale price reflected the high quality of the underlying real estate equal to nearly US$300 per rentable square foot and a cap rate of 7.2% on trailing NOI.

"I remain extremely proud of the efforts we have made to date this year with dispositions of a handful of non-core seniors housing assets, our Bridgemoor portfolio, and the recent announcement of the sale of the majority of our medical office portfolio. These dispositions have been completed at favorable pricing, with the goal of simplifying our company and focusing on private pay seniors housing assets operated by our core group of operating partners," noted Scott White, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "I am also pleased to highlight the positive momentum we have seen in our SHOP portfolio over the last couple of months. Commonwealth Senior Living, our captive operating and management company, continues to grow census and actually hit pre-pandemic occupancy levels a couple of weeks ago. We expect to see continued growth from the Commonwealth team as we head into the second half of 2022."
