IRVINE, CALIF. (PRWEB) JUNE 15, 2018

Silverado today announced it has received a $45 million investment commitment from Artemis Real Estate Partners. This new financing will fuel Silverado’s 5-year plan to develop memory care communities throughout top US metro areas, and support its hospice, palliative care and at home offerings. Adding Artemis as a trusted partner will enrich Silverado’s strategic resources, and further its long-standing relationships with RLH Equity Partners and Welltower.

Artemis has raised approximately $4 billion of investor capital across a core-plus healthcare real estate fund, three commingled value-add/opportunistic fund vehicles, and a series of emerging manager separate accounts. In connection with the investment, Kelly Sheehy, Principal & Managing Director of Artemis, will join Silverado’s Board of Directors.

“Our decision to seek a capital investment with Artemis is about more than just financing,” said Loren Shook, President, CEO and Chairman of Silverado. “It is about developing a long-term relationship with a partner that we can trust and that has the capabilities and innovation to fuel our growth and support our purpose of changing the world in the way that individuals with memory impairment are cared for, and to maximize the quality of life through the end of life.”

”We are excited to partner with Silverado to develop state of the art memory care communities for the next generation of seniors” said Kelly Sheehy, Principal & Managing Director of Artemis. “The dementia population is projected to grow over 30% faster than general senior population growth in the near term, which creates a compelling investment opportunity to fill a market need for Class A real estate that will provide the highest quality of care and service for residents.”

“We welcome Artemis to the Silverado family and look forward to partnering together to help Silverado reach its full potential,” shares J. Christopher Lewis, Co-founder, Managing Director of RLH Equity Partners.

Coker Capital Advisors served as exclusive financial advisor to Silverado in connection with this transaction.
