Dallas-based Capital Senior Living Corp. has secured seven senior living communities and 75% interest in Villa Santa Barbara with the closing of a previously announced merger with ILM Senior Living Inc. The total cash consideration for the eight properties is about $97.6 million.
Capital, one of the nation’s largest operators and developers of senior living communities, has been overseeing the properties for the past four years. James A. Stroud, Capital’s chairman, says the merger is “strategically important … aimed at increasing ownership of assets and enhancing cash flows.” Stroud estimates annual cash earnings to jump more than 20%, or 11 cents, over its present rate.
