Welltower bought a 220-bed assisted and independent living complex in Davie for $34.3 million, marking continued investment in South Florida senior care facilities.
Royal Senior Care and MG3 Group sold Oakmonte Village of Davie at 8201 Stirling Road to Welltower, a publicly traded real estate investment trust, according to records and real estate database Vizzda.
The complex consists of a pair of three-story buildings and a one-story building on an 8.6-acre site, Vizzda records show. Royal Senior Care, led by Avi Bittan, and MG3 –– led by Marcelo Saiegh, Gustavo Bogomolni and Hernan Leonoff –– completed development of Oakmonte in 2017.
Both Royal Senior Care and MG3 are based in Aventura.
Oakmonte offers assisted living and memory care, which is targeted for people with memory loss, as well as independent living for seniors with assistance where needed.
Welltower, led by Shankh Mitra, has a portfolio of more than 1,500 senior-living and wellness communities in the U.S., United Kingdom and Canada, according to its website. Its market capitalization is $94.2 billion.
Welltower has offices in Palm Beach Gardens, New York, Dallas and Toledo, Ohio, as well as in London and Toronto.

The firm paid $18.4 million in 2019 for a 54,500-square-foot medical office building at 2901 Coral Hills Drive in Coral Springs, as part of a $1.25 billion portfolio acquisition from CNL Financial.
