Welltower (NYSE: WELL), a Toledo-based REIT that is the largest owner of seniors housing in the country, has announced plans to transition a portfolio of 89 Holiday by Atria properties to new operators. Welltower acquired the bulk of the properties in 2021 as part of Atria Senior Living’s acquisition of former independent living giant Holiday Retirement, which at the time represented the seventh-largest seniors housing operator buying the third-largest. The American Seniors Housing Association, which tracks the 50 largest U.S. owners and operators of seniors housing annually, reports that the combined company was the second-largest operator in the country with 348 properties totaling 42,501 units as of June 1, 2023.
