PGIM Real Estate and Grand Living Management acquire Orlando senior housing community
NEWARK, N.J., Oct. 3, 2024 – PGIM Real Estate and Grand Living have entered into a joint venture partnership to acquire Oakmonte Village at Lake Mary, an independent, assisted living and memory care community in Lake Mary, Florida. Lake Mary is located in the Orlando submarket.
“Senior housing is one of the property sectors where we have the strongest conviction given the growth outlook and structural demographic tailwinds,” said Darin Bright, managing director and head of U.S. core-plus equity, PGIM Real Estate. “The Orlando market in particular exhibits exceptionally strong fundamentals, and we expect to see healthy returns over the next decade.”
The acquisition was made through PGIM Real Estate’s core-plus commingled investment strategy in the U.S.

“We believe that senior housing is an important component when constructing a diversified real estate portfolio and, therefore, we expect our U.S. core-plus strategy to significantly grow its exposure to senior housing as we increase our investments in the living, healthcare and logistics sectors.”
Bright continued, “We believe that senior housing is an important component when constructing a diversified real estate portfolio and, therefore, we expect our U.S. core-plus strategy to significantly grow its exposure to senior housing as we increase our investments in the living, healthcare and logistics sectors.”
Oakmonte Village offers an ideal location for the senior population, with direct access to the greater Orlando area and Daytona Beach through Interstate 4. It is also located less than five miles from the Orlando Health Emergency Room and Medical Pavilion as well as in the proximity of a number of golf and country clubs. The community is almost 90% occupied and has a total of 351 units across its 23 buildings. Property amenities include a heated outdoor pool with cabanas, private concierge services, and an exclusive lounge, movie theater and fitness center. Following the acquisition, it will be operated as Grand Living Park at Lake Mary.
Grand Living, headquartered in Minneapolis, is a well-respected senior housing operator, owner, and developer. The company’s portfolio consists of communities located throughout Florida, Iowa, and Texas. PGIM Real Estate currently owns five senior housing communities that are operated by Grand Living.
“We are proud of our partnership with PGIM and have full appreciation for our shared values,” said Nikos Westmoreland, Grand Living’s President and Chief Operating Officer. “Our entire team looks forward to serving the wonderful residents and their families in Lake Mary and embracing them into the Grand Living lifestyle.”
