American Healthcare REIT Acquires Eight Seniors Housing Communities for $696M
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. Rather than either walking away from a highly strategic opportunity or compromising our capital allocation discipline to secure it, we constructed a solution that required neither.” The purchase gives the Irvine-based company a larger presence in the Northeastern seniors housing 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 …
