The HFF team representing the seller was led by managing director Ryan Maconachy and director Chad Lavender.

The SunnyBrook Portfolio was represented by the legal team of Whit Roberts and Janis Loegering in the Dallas office of Locke Lord LLP. 

ARC was represented by Taylor Pancake in the Orlando office of law firm, Foley & Lardner.

“The SunnyBrook Portfolio represented a great opportunity for ARC and their new operating partners for this portfolio, Provision Living and Frontier Management, each bringing significant operating experience in the region.

“The HFF Seniors Housing Team was very pleased with the execution of the transaction by the teams at SunnyBrook and ARC, which was completed over a compressed timeline,” said Maconachy.

Chad Lavender
CEO and majority owner of SunnyBrook, James T. Elliott IV, moved his family to Iowa from New York City 10 years ago to pursue his vision of creating the best possible lifestyle for Iowa seniors in small and mid-size communities. 

Mr. Elliott developed the properties from the ground-up and then assumed a hands-on role with the management of SunnyBrook, making it known that the staff of each community should be talented and caring individuals working as a team to provide the care of residents. 

Under Mr. Elliott’s leadership, SunnyBrook enjoyed great success with quality services, strong occupancy and deep ties to each community. 

American Realty Capital Healthcare Trust II ("ARC") is a full-service investment advisory firm sponsoring a series of investment programs with an emphasis on publicly registered non-traded real estate offerings.
