SHA Capital Partners Acquires Wisconsin Senior Housing Community

SHA Capital Partners acquired a 114-unit senior housing community in the Madison, Wisconsin area for $4.2 million. The community, KindredHearts of Sun Prairie, includes 62 senior apartment units and 52 assisted living and independent living units. 

The business plan calls for $2.5 million in renovations and upgrades to hopefully boost occupancy from its current level of 55%. The campus is situated on 10 acres and is large enough to develop memory care and independent living buildings in follow-on phases.

Matthews Senior Living, SHA Capital’s partner in its Portage, Wisconsin, investment, will operate the community and also has an ownership stake. Matthews is led by Tom Ostrom.

Chicago-based firm TH Associates will oversee the renovation and have an ownership interest. TH Associates is headed by Tim Hedges, former midwest director of development for Sunrise Senior Living. PD&C Midwest, a Hartland, Wisconsin-based design/build architecture firm that focuses on senior housing projects, has been chosen for the construction contract.

First Business Bank of Milwaukee provided a two-year construction loan that will convert to a three-year mini-perm loan after the renovation is complete.
