CNL Healthcare Properties, Inc.

CNL Healthcare Properties, Inc. is a Maryland REIT focused almost entirely on seniors housing real estate in the United States. Its portfolio consists of interests in 70 properties, including independent living, assisted living, continuing care retirement communities, and Alzheimer’s/memory care facilities. The company is externally managed by CNL Healthcare Corp., which handles day-to-day operations and has also been responsible for identifying and executing strategic alternatives. In recent years, management has been repositioning the portfolio and pursuing a broader strategic transaction process, including asset sales and a potential business combination. The business is therefore best understood as a healthcare real estate owner with a portfolio-management and liquidity-event orientation rather than a growth-oriented operating platform.
