MADISON, N.J., – Prudential Real Estate Investors announced today that it has completed the capital raise of Senior Housing Partners V (SHP V) with a total of $629 million in capital commitments. SHP V is the fifth in a series of dedicated, closed-end funds designed to capitalize on investment opportunities in the growing senior housing industry. PREI is the real estate investment and advisory business of Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE: PRU).

The capital raise, which exceeded PREI’s $500 million target, included $430.5 million from 10 existing investors and $198.5 million from four new investors, including U.S. public and corporate pension plans.

Consistent with prior Senior Housing Partners funds, SHP V will invest in the independent, assisted living and memory care segments of the senior housing industry. The fund will employ a flexible investment strategy targeting direct acquisitions, forward commitments, developments, mezzanine loans, and other opportunities.

“Powerful demographic trends continue to support the high demand for senior housing, while the supply remains constrained,” said Noah Levy, head of PREI’s senior housing business. “As the overall economy improves, we expect that senior housing will continue to benefit.”

“We are pleased with the strength of participation from PREI’s existing and new clients,” added Kevin R. Smith, head of Americas for PREI. “The successful capital raise is a testament to PREI’s consistent senior housing investment strategy, our longstanding relationships with leading senior housing operators and developers, and our ability to deliver to our clients attractive risk-adjusted returns driven by solid current income.”

Investing in the sector since 1998, PREI has helped to pioneer the dedicated senior housing investment strategy. PREI’s Senior Housing Partners team has invested approximately $2.6 billion in gross assets in the senior housing sector, involving more than 140 properties and over 15,000 units throughout the United States.

Previous PREI Senior Housing Partners funds include: SHP I, which closed in 1998, with approximately $183 million in commitments; SHP II, which closed in 2001, with approximately $94 million in commitments; SHP III, which closed in 2006, with approximately $371 million in commitments; and SHP IV, which closed in 2011, with approximately $569 million in commitments.
