Dekel Strategic Investors (DSI) has placed $16.1 mil in equity for the development of Sage Mountain Senior Living, a 130-unit, 58.2k sf assisted living and memory care project being developed by LA-based Willis Development in Thousand Oaks. Construction just started in early September 2016 and is tentatively scheduled for completion by the beginning of 2018.
Sage Mountain Senior Living will consist of 98 assisted living units, along with 32 memory care units within a secure memory care wing. Each unit in the four-story building will average 453 sf and will be fully handicap accessible, equipped with extra wide doors and handicap bathroom fixtures. Amenities for the project include a salon, fitness room, library and a 41-space subterranean parking garage.
The property’s accessibility off of U.S. Highway 101 provides great visibility for the project, while its quiet cul-de-sac location offers privacy for its future residents. Sage Mountain Senior Living is also located in close proximity to major retail centers, including The Oaks, a regional shopping mall, and The Promenade at Westlake.
DSI is a proprietary equity fund of Dekel Capital. With the closing of this deal, DSI has now invested over $100 mil in equity, since the platform was launched in January 2014.
“DSI was formed to facilitate deals such as this, to fill the recognized gap in the capital markets for equity investment between $4 and $10 mil,” said Shlomi Ronen, managing principal and founder of Dekel Capital. “We continue to see a need for this valuable platform, particularly as demand grows for quality senior housing projects of this size throughout the U.S.”
As the baby boomer generation continues to age, the U.S. Census Bureau projects the population of Americans over the age of 65 will nearly double by 2050. As a result, quality senior living options for the aging community are in high demand, and projects like Sage Mountain Senior Living meet this need.
“Sage Mountain Senior Living presented a prime opportunity for investment in new construction within a supply-constrained submarket, where similar care facilities are not being built,” said Ronen. “This, along with the strong comps in the surrounding area, gave our investors confidence in the property’s potential for stabilization and success.”
