Orlando, Fla., Sept. 06, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
The board of directors of CNL Healthcare Properties, a real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on seniors housing and healthcare facilities, has approved a 10 percent increase in the company’s quarterly cash distribution from $0.10581 to $0.11639 per share, effective for the third quarter of 2017. The distribution will be paid on or about Sept. 11, 2017, for shareholders of record as of the close of business Sept. 1, 2017.
The decision to increase the distribution was based on overall performance of the 142-property portfolio and organic growth in the company’s cash flow. In addition, the company has now completed and opened all but one of the 15 development, expansion or conversion projects as part of its capital deployment strategy.
CNL Healthcare Properties has fully invested its offering proceeds of approximately $1.7 billion and remains focused on continuing to lease-up and stabilize its ground-up development, expansion and value-add investments.
“Since our first investment in early 2012, we have worked diligently to both create a young and high-quality portfolio, and work closely with our tenants, operators and managers to continually drive and strengthen the performance of our investments,” said Stephen H. Mauldin, president and CEO of CNL Healthcare Properties. “We are quite pleased to now increase the level of cash distributions to our shareholders, which is directly correlated with the performance and maturation of the portfolio.”
The board of directors for CNL Healthcare Properties will continue to evaluate the amount of its distributions quarterly.
