New York, Ny. – Real Capital Analytics (RCA), a leading global research firm, and the National Investment Center for the Seniors Housing and Care Industry (NIC), a leading industry resource for seniors housing, announced during a jointly sponsored NIC Investor Briefing last week an agreement to provide the seniors housing industry with improved transaction data and analytical reports to facilitate investment decisions within this rapidly growing property sector.
“We are very pleased about our new relationship with NIC, which has the largest database on seniors housing and is the ‘go to’ organization for investors interested in the industry,” said Bob White, RCA’s Founder and President. “Seniors housing properties are currently attracting tremendous amounts of capital. So far in 2011, we have recorded $15 billion of property sales with another $7.5 billion pending, a huge amount of transactions that surpasses volume in the office sector.”
As part of the agreement, NIC will provide RCA with its leading US database of seniors housing information, and RCA will enhance this transaction data to provide jointly produced industry trend reports and analytics. The transaction database and analytical reports will be offered to both NIC MAP subscribers and RCA clients later this year. In addition, a NIC-RCA quarterly transactions report will be produced and be available through each organization.
“With the unprecedented number of transactions in the seniors housing industry, it’s the perfect time to bring together RCA’s commercial real estate expertise and NIC’s industry-specific research and data,” said Bob Kramer, NIC’s President. “I’m excited about the collaboration and look forward to enhancing investor knowledge and understanding of the seniors housing industry and its potential.”
