Through their collective decades of industry experience, the team has completed over 250 financings representing in excess of $10 billion for senior living and structured housing clients. Their clients range across both the non-profit and for profit sectors with an expertise in life plan communities, rental senior housing and affordable senior housing. Prior to joining D.A. Davidson, the team led the Senior Living practice at Piper Sandler.
"This team brings a unique depth of expertise and a trusted, high level of service for an industry requiring specialized banking,” said Marc Dispense, president of D.A. Davidson’s Fixed Income Capital Markets Group. “This expansion of our banking capabilities complements our broad investor distribution for specialized segments, allowing us to leverage all sides of the transaction to execute well for our clients. We continue to grow our fixed income capabilities for both taxable and non-taxable client needs, and the addition of this high powered team is a significant event for our multi-year, measured growth plan.”

What can we expect to see in the future for the Senior Living space?
“The senior living sector is both growing and consolidating at the same time, creating a unique set of capital and advisory needs,” said Lohr. “Over the next decade, demographic driven demand will continue to outpace available supply. Access to capital, operational and governance resources will become increasingly important as the overall business of senior living continues to gain in scale and complexity.”
