LTC Properties Goes Deeper into SHOP

LTC Properties makes moves to further move its portfolio away from skilled nursing and into seniors housing.
REIT LTC Properties, Inc. (NYSE: LTC) today announced nearly $160 million of acquisitions and the strategic divestitures of two non-SHOP portfolios, further expanding its SHOP platform and advancing its ongoing portfolio transformation.
Highlights:
- Acquisitions: Added three SHOP communities through two acquisitions totaling nearly $160 million:
One community in Florida for $69 million to be operated by Charter Senior Living.
Two communities in Virginia and Maryland for $89 million, operated by IntegraCare, an operator new to LTC.
Collectively, the acquisitions add 270 independent living, assisted living, and memory care units with an average age of 6 years and located in primary markets as designated by NIC. The investments are expected to generate an average year-one cap rate of approximately 6.5 percent.
- Funding: Proceeds from the sale of two non-SHOP portfolios as part of LTC’s ongoing effort to further align its portfolio with its SHOP strategy. The divested assets included three triple-net skilled nursing centers, and 17 triple-net seniors housing communities. The sales generated over $260 million in gross proceeds, and an expected gain on sale of approximately $225 million, the company said. Total annualized rental income from these two portfolios was $12 million. Additionally, LTC now expects to receive the previously disclosed payoff of a $180 million mortgage loan secured by 14 skilled nursing centers in early to mid-November 2026.
- Portfolio Transformation and Ongoing Momentum: LTC said it has rapidly scaled its SHOP platform since its launch in May 2025.
The SHOP platform has grown from 13 to 46 communities, which now contributes over 40 percent of the company’s annualized net operating income, while its triple-net skilled nursing portfolio has been reduced to approximately 30 percent of its annualized net operating income.
The SHOP portfolio has an average age of 9 years and is managed by 13 operators, including 11 new relationships established through the platform's expansion.
Year-to-date, LTC has completed approximately $740 million of SHOP acquisitions, representing over 80 percent of its 2026 mid-point acquisition target, and received gross proceeds of $550 million from sales and a loan payoff which represented $33 million in total annualized income and an anticipated combined gain on sale of over $330 million.
