Record-Breaking $160M Sale of Havenwood Senior Living Communities

In 2017, Roers Companies recognized a growing need for full continuum-of-care senior housing and began developing a series of communities — Havenwood Senior Living — to meet the demand. Roers Cos. was presented with the award for Top Senior Housing in the West Metro by the Minnesota Real Estate Journal for the first senior living community in the portfolio, Havenwood of Richfield. This facility opened in August of 2018 and filled up very quickly. Roers Cos. kept the momentum going by building out a total of six Havenwood Senior Living communities. 

Developing senior communities in various cities allowed Roers Cos. to expand its reach and tap into diverse senior populations across the Twin Cities metro area and Onalaska, Wisconsin. Each property is an innovative age-in-place community offering a wide range of rental living options for seniors, with most including memory care services along with independent and assisted living.

Five of the Minnesota Havenwood apartments sold to Lone Star Funds in February of 2022 for $160 million, equalling $282,167 per unit. The sale included the five Twin Cities Havenwood properties — Buffalo, Burnsville, Maple Grove, Minnetonka, and Richfield — totaling more than 550 independent and assisted living apartments, plus memory care and care suites. The sale of these properties was an opportunity to provide investors with a solid return on their investment, yielding a 19% average internal rate of return and a 73% average return on equity.
