LTC Properties, Inc. expanded its SHOP portfolio with the $40 million acquisition of a seniors housing and health care community in Wisconsin. The transaction brings the company's year-to-date SHOP investments to nearly $285 million. The property comprises 147 independent living, assisted living, and memory care units, and will be managed by Health Dimensions Group (HDG), a new operator for LTC Properties.
The acquisition was completed at a cap rate of approximately 7.2%, with an anticipated unlevered internal rate of return in the low- to mid-teens. Funding for the deal was sourced from proceeds from at-the-market (ATM) sales. During the 2026 second quarter, LTC sold 4.1 million shares of common stock for $154.7 million in net proceeds under its equity distribution agreement. The company also announced it expects to acquire an additional $95 million of SHOP communities within the next month.

Since launching the SHOP program in May 2025, LTC has grown its portfolio to 37 properties. This represents 35% of the company’s total gross real estate investments. The platform now spans 12 operators, 10 of which are new relationships for LTC.
