LTC Properties is rapidly reshaping its portfolio around senior housing operating assets, with its SHOP segment expected to account for 40% of net operating income by the end of 2026 as the healthcare REIT continues an aggressive acquisition programme.

The US REIT announced on 1 June that it had acquired a 104-unit assisted living and memory care community in Phoenix, Arizona for USD54 million.
