IRVINE, CALIF. — American Healthcare REIT Inc. (NYSE: AHR) has acquired eight senior housing communities in six states for $696 million. The properties, which collectively comprise 867 units and were built between 2020 and 2022, are located in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Georgia. Newmark acted as AHR’s real estate advisor for the transaction.  While there were multiple sellers, all eight properties were marketed together. AHR purchased 10 communities all together but assigned the purchase and sale agreements of two properties to another institutional investor.  “This series of transactions is an example of disciplined capital allocation supported by strong execution,” says Jeff Hanson, chairman and CEO of AHR. “We understood that only a solution for all 10 communities would clear the market.

The Northeast properties in the portfolio are located primarily in wealthy suburban markets such as Philadelphia’s Main Line, Westport, Conn., and suburban Boston.  AHR is strengthening this newfound foothold via a new operating relationship with Massachusetts-based LCB …

ALLENTOWN, PA. — Chobani has entered into an agreement to acquire the former manufacturing facility of Keurig Dr Pepper in the Lehigh Valley city of Allentown, including the lease, equipment and operations and related infrastructure, for $125 million. Keurig Dr Pepper first opened the  1.5 million-square-foot facility in 2021, and the announcement coincides with Keurig Dr Pepper agreeing to sell its full equity stake in Chobani back to the company for $800 million. Both of those transactions are expected to close in the third quarter.   Chobani’s acquisition of the facility comes as part of a larger capital investment in the Lehigh Valley that is valued at 1.2 billion and expected to add about 900 new jobs to the local economy. The provider of dairy products plans to add up to 10 new production lines and says that the new facility will give the company “the capacity to scale new products while continuing to develop new formats and food-and-beverage platforms.” Production under Chobani is expected to begin sometime next year.
