Mar 09, 2021 Mark

Press Release (ePRNews.com) - MCLEAN, Va. - Mar 09, 2021 - Inspirit Senior Living (“Inspirit”) and Venue Capital (“Vencap”) co-sponsored a joint venture with Drake Real Estate Partners (“Drake”) to acquire The Willows, a 126-unit, Class A assisted living and memory care community located adjacent to The Villages in Oxford, FL. The joint venture plans to immediately begin renovations to improve the product mix and attract local seniors in one of the fastest growing and premier retirement destinations in the country.

Built in 2015, The Willows is a Class A property that appeals to the sophisticated tastes and social lifestyle of its residents.  Situated on over four manicured acres, the community enjoys proximity to numerous golf courses, equestrian centers, rivers, and other entertainment options. Residents appreciate the luxury of living in a resort lifestyle with a variety of suite types, and the high-quality level of service and care that Inspirit is known for. Part of the renovation plan includes creating “The Bellwether Suites,” which will offer larger, upscale units with specialized amenities and private terraces.

Like other Inspirit communities, The Willows offers assisted living and Inspirit’s Sage Program, which is specifically designed for the memory impaired. The Sage Program’s mission is to honor its residents — creating meaningful interactions, in safe hands, while working within its residents’ memories and abilities.

Dave McHarg, Chief Executive Officer of Inspirit, said, “We are excited to expand our Florida footprint with this beautiful community that has a great team already in place. The pandemic has made the past year extraordinarily difficult for seniors, and we are honored to provide a safe and social environment where they can be cared for and thrive.”

Michael Goldberg, Chief Executive Officer of Vencap added, “We’re thrilled to continue our expansion with Inspirit, while simultaneously launching a new partnership with a like-minded organization in Drake. We look forward to revitalizing this high-quality property, creating exceptional experiences for its seniors, and looking for additional growth opportunities as the nation emerges from the pandemic.”

Nicolas Ibanez, co-founder of Drake Real Estate Partners remarked, “The pandemic has severely affected senior living communities, its service staff and residents. This is a unique partnership and investment opportunity, which allows us to give people renewed enthusiasm, while creating positive momentum and reinvigorating the property.”
