TOLEDO, Ohio, July 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Welltower® Inc. (NYSE: WELL)
today announced the expansion of its relationship with Oakmont
Management Group ("Oakmont"). Through the acquisition of new
management contracts, the partnership is expected to roughly double
the size of Welltower and Oakmont's existing portfolio by the end
of the third quarter in affluent markets across California.
Welltower has also signed a long-term exclusive development
agreement with Oakmont. Through this agreement, both organizations
will invest significant capital and resources to build, own and
operate Class A communities to serve the seniors housing resident
of the future, with a focus on highly specialized programming and
resident health and wellness. Oakmont and Welltower expect to grow
the partnership's footprint significantly over the next decade. The
partnership will leverage Welltower's data analytics platform and
innovative access to health and wellness partners and Oakmont's
best in class operating platform. Additionally, the two companies
have agreed to a strongly aligned RIDEA 3.0 management
contract.
In a recently completed transaction, Oakmont and Welltower
acquired Ivy Park at Otay Ranch, an
assisted living and memory care community in San Diego, California. Ivy Park is the first of Oakmont's new brand,
Ivy Living, which builds upon decades of operational excellence
providing Oakmont the flexibility to pursue opportunities that have
a different built environment.
"Oakmont Management Group is thrilled to be in this long-term
partnership with Welltower and we firmly believe that our operating
acumen combined with Welltower's significant edge in data analytics
will create a formidable team," said Courtney Siegel, Oakmont President and CEO.
"Welltower is a partner of choice in the seniors housing sector and
we look forward to expanding our relationship in the years to
come."
"We are delighted to announce the expansion of our partnership
with Courtney and the Oakmont Management Group team through this
exclusive agreement," said Shankh Mitra, Welltower's CEO and CIO.
"Oakmont is one of Welltower's strongest performing operating
partners. Courtney and her team are not only best in class
operators but are also true partners. I could not be more excited
to significantly grow our relationship through acquisition and
development in California and
other western states over the next decade."
