Summit Healthcare REIT, Inc. Expands to Colorado
Lake Forest, Calif., (Sept. 26, 2014) – Summit Healthcare REIT, Inc. (“Summit”) announced today that it acquired two skilled nursing facilities in Colorado for a purchase price of approximately $8 million on Sept. 22, 2014.
The two facilities acquired include Juniper Village at Lamar, which is a 22,000 square foot skilled nursing facility located in Lamar, Colorado, and Juniper Village at Monte Vista, which is a 20,000 square foot skilled nursing facility located in Monte Vista, Colorado. Both of the 60-bed facilities were built in 1972 and renovated in 2008.
The facilities will be operated and leased by Dakavia Management Corp. (“Dakavia”) pursuant to a 15-year triple net lease. Dakavia has over twenty years of experience in the skilled nursing industry and operates three other facilities in Summit’s portfolio.

“Summit has been a great group to work with and an important part of our strategic growth,” said Kent Emry, President of Dakavia Management Corp.
