Irvine, CA – December 12, 2024 – IRA Capital (“IRA”), a leading private equity firm based in Irvine, California, is pleased
to announce its $40 million acquisition of Capstone at Centerra (“Capstone”), a premier senior housing community
located within the 3,000-acre Centerra master-planned development in Loveland, Colorado. Developed by Hunt Midwest
in 2023, Capstone is a 95% occupied 102-unit Class-A community offering 56 assisted living apartments and 46 memory
care residences. Thoughtfully designed to provide an exceptional living experience for seniors, Capstone’s prime location
provides convenient access to nearby shopping, dining, and healthcare facilities including the UCHealth Medical Center
of Rockies and Banner McKee Medical Center. The all-cash acquisition was completed in partnership with an institutional
joint-venture partner, reaffirming IRA’s commitment to investing in high-quality, durable assets in top-performing
markets.
“Capstone at Centerra is an excellent addition to our growing portfolio of premier, new vintage senior housing
communities,” said Azhar Jameeli, Managing Director at IRA Capital. “We remain committed to providing outstanding
living experiences for residents while delivering superior risk-adjusted returns to our capital partners.”
In addition to the recent Capstone acquisition, IRA has bolstered its leadership team with the onboarding of Andrew
(Andy) Ciarfalia as Vice President of Asset Management to support IRA’s growing senior housing portfolio. Andy has over
a decade of experience at Sunrise Senior Living, where he held leadership roles in asset management and financial
planning. In his new role, Ciarfalia will focus on optimizing IRA’s senior housing asset management capabilities and driving
the firm’s continued growth in the sector.
“Andy brings a wealth of experience and will be an invaluable member of IRA’s Senior Housing team as we continue to
expand both our platform and portfolio,” said Jay Gangwal, Managing Partner at IRA Capital.
IRA Capital’s senior housing portfolio comprises approximately 900 units, valued at over $400 million. The acquisition of
Capstone caps off a highly active year for IRA, which invested $900 million in 2024, including $600 million in healthcare
real estate across 20 properties. With strong demographic trends and favorable market fundamentals supporting growth,
IRA plans to invest an additional $1 billion in the senior housing sector over the next 12 to 18 months. The firm’s
continued focus on healthcare and senior housing reinforces its leadership in delivering consistent, long-term returns
through high-quality real estate investments.
