Sonida Senior Living Puts Its Operating Model to the Test at Scale
Nareit profiles Sonida Senior Living's integration of the $1.8 billion CNL Healthcare Properties acquisition, completed in March 2026. The transaction added 69 communities previously operated by 14 external managers. Sonida is a C corporation, not a REIT; the article describes an October footprint of 164 communities across properties it owns, manages or holds investments in.
CEO Brandon Ribar discusses applying Sonida's operating processes while making selective management transitions. The profile reports second-quarter same-store occupancy of 87.8% and net operating income growth of 16.9%. It also reports a $24.5 million net loss attributable to common stockholders alongside $23.7 million in normalized funds from operations. The non-GAAP operating measure should not be confused with net income.
