WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

LTC Properties, Inc. LTC, a real estate investment trust that primarily invests in seniors housing and health care properties, announced today it has acquired the Village at Athens, a 70-unit assisted living and memory care community near Athens, GA for $14.3 million.

The newly constructed community received its certificate of occupancy in May 2016 and has been added to an existing master lease with an affiliate of Thrive Senior Living ("Thrive") at an incremental initial cash yield of 8%. The purpose-built, private-pay community has 90 licensed beds and is comprised of 50 assisted living units and 20 dedicated memory care units.

The Village at Athens expands LTC's relationship with Thrive to three communities. Two additional development projects are in the pipeline, both expected to open by year's end.

"Partnering with Thrive to invest in multiple communities underscores our stated strategy of methodically establishing and growing relationships with bourgeoning regional operators," said Wendy Simpson, LTC's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The addition of this newly built and developed property enhances our portfolio's overall quality by reducing its average age while increasing investments held in private-pay senior living communities. We are delighted to continue to cultivate our partnership and contribute to Thrive's long-term success."
