Boston, MA (June 30, 2017)—Blue Moon Capital Partners LP (“Blue Moon”), a leading senior housing private equity investor, announced today that it has acquired a majority interest in The Carillon at Boulder Creek (“The Carillon”), a 117- unit senior living community located in Boulder, Colorado adjacent to the University of Colorado campus. Blue Moon replaced affiliates of Legacy Capital Partners, an Ohio based, real estate private equity investor, in an existing joint venture. The remaining partners are MGL Partners (“MGL”), a Denver based real estate developer/investor and Leisure Care, one of the largest senior housing operator in the U.S. founded in 1976 and managing independent living, assisted living, and memory care communities across the country. This marks the second Colorado investment for the Blue Moon, MGL and Leisure Care relationship. Northwestern Mutual provided the debt.
MGL led the acquisition and redevelopment of The Carillon in 2006 when it was a concrete, nine-story assisted living and nursing care building completely gutting and renovating the existing structure and adding two four- story wings on either side of the original building. Leisure Care’s “Five-Star Fun” approach to senior living has been a perfect fit with the independent, outdoor inclined Boulder residents leading to consistently full occupancy at The Carillon.
