“Our market insights, vast relationships, and extensive experience in seniors housing and long-term care allows us to become the go-to in selling and financing these types of properties,” said Kris Mikkelsen, executive vice president of Investment Sales at Walker & Dunlop. “Whether facilitating dispositions, raising equity, or sourcing debt, our team ensures each transaction is handled with the priority, precision, and care our clients deserve. We provide personalized service they would only expect from a boutique firm.”

Among the transactions closed by the seniors housing investment sales team was the sale of a 196-unit Class-A independent living, assisted living, and memory care trophy asset called The Pinnacle at Plymouth Meeting, located in a Philadelphia, PA, suburb. The team also arranged the $22 million sale of the Avenir Arizona portfolio, a Class-A Memory Care facility with three communities located in the Phoenix, AZ, MSA. Lastly, the team arranged a high-profile skilled nursing portfolio sale in the Mid-Atlantic Region on behalf of a publicly traded REIT. The final transaction consisted of five facilities with approximately 770 beds and was sold to a national owner/operator for an undisclosed purchase price of more than $200,000 per bed.

The seniors housing investment sales team also collaborated with Russell Dey of the seniors housing capital markets group on a $20 million refinance for the Village at White River Junction, an 80-unit, Class-A, assisted living and memory care community in Vermont, helping their client secure favorable terms in a challenging, capital-constrained market.
