ORLANDO, FL (PRUnderground) August 27th, 2014

Sentio Healthcare Properties, Inc., (“Sentio” or the “REIT”), a real estate investment trust focused on healthcare-related real estate, announced today the $42.5M purchase of St. Andrew’s Village, a Class A, 246–unit senior housing community located in Aurora, CO. Opened in 2006, St. Andrew’s Village is just 12 miles southeast of Denver’s central business district and convenient to both Interstate 225 and Denver’s new light rail system.

The St. Andrew’s Village campus includes 246 units with a unit mix of 146 Independent Living, 60 Assisted Living, and 40 Skilled Nursing units (58 beds). Community amenities include a library, internet café, bistro, chapel, community room, indoor swimming pool and spa, fitness center, massage room, and dining rooms. Sentio will continue to lease the Property to an affiliate of the current manager, ESLP Management, LLC.  Founded by Chris Coates and Brian Dowd, ESLP Management provides extensive experience in senior living management with a special focus on campuses with a full continuum of care.

This transaction marks another capital deployment under Sentio’s investment agreement with an affiliate of leading global investment firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (together with its affiliates “KKR”). As a part of the agreement, KKR committed to provide an initial $150 million of convertible preferred equity to Sentio over a two to three year period.

President and CEO of Sentio, John Mark Ramsey described the transaction this way, “We are very excited to add St. Andrew’s Village to our portfolio and believe it will enhance the diversity of the REIT, both geographically and by property type. We believe the addition of ESLP Management to our existing team of operating partners will also be a great asset for us. Their extensive experience in senior housing and ability to manage the continuum of care, combined with their track record and industry reputation, make them an excellent partner not only for this community but for future investment opportunities as well.”

Chris Coates, President and CEO of ESLP Management, expressed his thoughts about the transaction with Sentio this way, “Brian and I were very impressed with the creative approach to deal structuring that we experienced with the team at Sentio. Their deep understanding of operations, combined with a thoughtful approach to designing a structure that meets our needs, creates a great opportunity for shared success. We are excited about our new partnership with Sentio and the bright future ahead for St. Andrew’s Village.”
