Athena Healthcare Group has sold 12 UK care assets in an off-market transaction that includes both operational properties and development sites.

The disposition comprises six active elderly care facilities and six properties currently under construction, with the majority situated across North West England . Notably, the transaction extends beyond physical assets to include the Athena Healthcare operating platform, representing a comprehensive transfer of both infrastructure and operational capabilities to the undisclosed buyer.

For operators, the inclusion of the operating platform indicates the buyer seeks immediate operational capability rather than merely acquiring real estate, potentially ensuring continuity of care services at the facilities.

The transaction is part of a broader pattern of strong capital allocation toward healthcare infrastructure, with institutional investors demonstrating willingness to pay premiums for integrated care platforms rather than standalone properties.
