This strategic move expands LTC Properties' Seniors Housing Operating Portfolio (SHOP) and introduces MorningStar Senior Living as its eleventh SHOP operator. The acquisition, funded by a revolving line of credit and future proceeds from asset sales, is expected to yield a 6.75% capitalization rate and an unlevered internal rate of return in the low-to-mid teens. LTC Properties aims to increase its SHOP portfolio to represent 40% of annualized net operating income and 45% of gross investments by year-end 2026, demonstrating a shift towards seniors housing and away from skilled nursing facilities.
