HEAVENRICH ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL SALE OF CONSTRUCTION FUND INTEREST IN THRIVE AT ATHENS
Chicago, IL, July 20, 2016 – Thrive Senior Living exercised their purchase option with Heavenrich’s construction fund and simultaneously sold their interest at certificate of occupancy on a new 70-unit assisted living and memory care facility to LTC Properties (NYSE:LTC). Thrive at Athens was acquired for $14.3 million and was developed by a joint venture between Atlanta-based Thrive, Summit Healthcare REIT and Heavenrich & Company’s construction fund. Thrive will be leasing the facility from LTC.
According to Adam Heavenrich, “Thrive brought us this opportunity, which was in their backyard. It was a great match for our fund, which helps good operators strengthen their balance sheets in a low-risk structure.”
Located in Athens, Georgia, approximately 50 miles west of Atlanta, Thrive at Athens is a showpiece location for Thrive. The new facility features 50 assisted living and 20 memory care units, all of which are private pay. Thrive at Athens received its certificate of occupancy in May 2016.
