by Jeff Shaw

WHEAT RIDGE, Colo., and ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Confluent Senior Living, a subsidiary of Denver-based Confluent Development, has sold two of its communities, MorningStar of Wheat Ridge and MorningStar of Albuquerque.

Denver-based MorningStar Senior Living co-developed and will continue to operate both communities. Holliday Fenoglio Fowler (HFF) brokered the deal on behalf of the buyer, Harbert Seniors Housing Fund I LP. The price was not disclosed.

Located in the Denver suburb of Wheat Ridge, MorningStar of Wheat Ridge was completed in March 2016. The 58,000-square-foot development includes 64 assisted living and memory care units. The project was fully leased by February 2017, less than a year after completion, and is currently 96.9 percent occupied.

Located in northwest Albuquerque, MorningStar of Albuquerque opened in February 2016. The 61,000-square-foot development includes 69 assisted living and memory care units. The project is currently 95.6 percent occupied.

The communities represent Confluent’s first sale of senior living assets to Harbert Seniors Housing Fund. Ryan Maconachy and Chad Lavender led the HFF investment sales team. Sarah Anderson led HFF’s debt placement team.

Confluent and MorningStar have completed four previous projects in Arizona and Colorado, with two others currently under construction in Arvada, Colo., and West Des Moines, Iowa.
