-- Deepens Lifespark Partnership, Continues To Scale its SHOP Platform --
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--September 02, 2026--
LTC Properties, Inc. $(LTC)$ ("LTC" or the "Company"), a real estate investment trust specializing in seniors housing and health care properties, today announced a new $200 million SHOP acquisition.
Acquisition Highlights:
-- Investment: $200 million acquisition of four SHOP communities in
Minnesota. The communities total 453 independent living, assisted living
and memory care units with an average age of nine years. The anticipated
year-one cap rate is approximately 7%, with an anticipated unlevered IRR
in the low- to mid-teens.
-- Operating Partner: Lifespark Senior Living ("Lifespark"), an existing
LTC SHOP operator assumed operations.
-- Funding: $167 million of proceeds from the sale of a portfolio of 13
skilled nursing centers in Texas. The portfolio had annualized
contractual cash income of $12.4 million and a net book value of $101
million. The remainder of the funding was from the Company's revolving
line of credit, which is anticipated to be repaid by October 1 with
proceeds from additional asset sales.
-- Continued Momentum: Since launching SHOP in May 2025, LTC has grown its
portfolio from 13 to 43 communities with an average age of 10 years, now
representing 38% of the Company's annualized net operating income. The
platform spans 12 operators, 10 of which are new LTC relationships since
LTC's launching of SHOP.
"Adding these communities with Lifespark advances our strategy of growing alongside strong operators with quality assets that provide great scale, desirable unit mix and compete successfully in their markets," said Dave Boitano, LTC's Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer. "We've now closed nearly $580 million in acquisitions this year, with another $120 million expected to transact by the end of September. LTC is building a scalable growth engine fueling continued SHOP momentum and long-term shareholder value."
