by John Nelson

CHICAGO — Chicago-based JLL has brokered the $725 million sale of a seniors housing portfolio comprising 20 communities located primarily in the Sun Belt, Northeast and Midwest markets. Chicago Pacific Founders sold the portfolio to Ventas Inc. (NYSE: VTR) in an all-cash transaction. Roughly two-thirds of the properties are independent living communities, with the remainder of the assets falling into the categories of assisted living and memory care. The communities are spread across 14 states including Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. Chicago Pacific Founders owned the portfolio properties within an investment vehicle titled CPF Living Fund I. Jay Wagner, Rick Swartz, Jim Dooley and Sean Kirk of JLL’s Seniors Housing Capital Markets team, as well as Ted Flagg of Jones Lang LaSalle Securities (an affiliate of JLL), represented the sellers in the transaction. “As one of the largest seniors housing transactions closed year-to-date, this is a meaningful indicator that appetite for scaled seniors housing portfolios is back,” says Wagner. “The significant supply-demand imbalance, precipitated by tepid recent development levels, is setting up the markets for an incredible run on occupancy and margin growth over the medium term.” Grace …
