Real Estate Investment Firm To Rebrand Staunton, VA, Community as AVIVA Baldwin Park

DALLAS – Lloyd Jones, a real estate investment firm headquartered in Dallas, Texas, has announced the acquisition of Brightview Baldwin Park, a 136-unit independent living, assisted living, and memory care community in Staunton, Virginia. This marks Lloyd Jones’ first senior housing acquisition this year. The property was purchased from Brightview Senior Living and will operate under the Lloyd Jones proprietary Aviva brand as AVIVA Baldwin Park. 

Originally built in 1987 and subsequently refurbished in 2003, AVIVA Baldwin Park includes two separate three-story structures on a sprawling fifteen-acre estate. The southern building houses 85 independent living units, and the northern building accommodates the remaining 51 assisted living and memory care units. Property amenities include a well-stocked library, beauty and barber  shop, community fireplace,  and updated fitness center. The property features an expansive courtyard where residents can enjoy an outdoor trail with picturesque views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah Valley.

“This is a beautiful property in a beautiful area of Virginia. We hope to continue to serve the surrounding communities with exceptional senior living. To expand the excellent reputation of Baldwin Park, we have an experienced and loving on-site team in place, backed by the full resources of both AVIVA Senior Living and Lloyd Jones,” says Christopher Finlay, Chairman and CEO of Lloyd Jones. 

With a $3.1M capital renovation budget, the Lloyd Jones team plans to focus on significant upgrades to the northern building to match the recently updated southern building. The team also aims to introduce its signature technology package that includes keyless door locks, resident safety pendants, and new property camera systems to enhance the security of the residents.

The Lloyd Jones partner in this investment is SP Venture Partners, a real estate investment firm that focuses on making tax-efficient Co-GP investments alongside seasoned operating partners in multifamily and senior housing. Its founders have a proven track record of investing and managing $125 million of equity across $1.5 billion of real estate. This experience has given SP Venture Partners the ability to formulate and implement a comprehensive due diligence process on the operating partners it invests alongside. Peter Powers, co-founder of  SP Venture Partners adds “My partner, Sean, and I both grew up with families that owned businesses that served seniors and have seen the increased need to provide senior housing that allows seniors to continue living fulfilling lives.”

MIAMI – Lloyd Jones, a real estate investment firm headquartered in Miami, Florida, has announced the acquisition of First Apartments, a 194-unit, a mid-rise multifamily community in East Little Havana. The property is situated less than one mile from the vibrant neighborhoods of downtown Miami and Brickell. This marks the firm’s sixth acquisition announced this year. First Apartments will be rebranded and renamed The Vibe.

For the third time this year, Lloyd Jones has partnered with ST Real Estate Holding Inc. (STRE), under the direction of Vice Chairman Patrick Lardi, to close the transaction. Back in April, the partnership acquired AVIVA Maybelle Carter in Madison, Tennessee. In June, the joint venture announced a second transaction with the acquisition of AVIVA Fort Worth in Fort Worth, Texas.

Completed in 2021, the First Apartments community was built with great attention to detail and a focus on smart home design. The property features spacious, modern apartment homes with in-unit finishes that include porcelain tile flooring, Wi-Fi enabled smart washer and dryer, and oversized terraces. These sleek furnishings are complemented by an array of premium amenities such as a resort-style pool, expansive dog park and pet wash station, remote workspaces with tech tables, and EV car charging ports.

“The immediate area surrounding the property has benefited from a surge in rental demand and is forecasted for continued growth,” says Ashley Socarras, senior vice president of acquisitions at Lloyd Jones. “We are excited to add The Vibe to our portfolio. This is a beautiful property, five minutes from the epicenter of Miami’s employment, retail, and entertainment activity. And, of course, its close proximity to the Lloyd Jones headquarters is especially appealing.”

The Lloyd Jones team continues to seek investment opportunities in the multifamily and senior housing space nationwide, with a primary focus on the Sun Belt regions.

Hamilton Heights marks Lloyd Jones’ fourth senior housing acquisition this year. In February, the firm added two Class-A communities to its senior-living portfolio and a third in April: AVIVA Woodlands in Lincoln, Nebraska; AVIVA River Bend in Rochester, Minnesota; and AVIVA Maybelle Carter in Nashville, Tennessee.

Formerly known as Mount St. Joseph Academy, a Roman Catholic boarding school for girls, the property was adapted to an independent living, assisted living, and memory care community in 1997. The original academy was built in 1905 by well-known Hartford architect, John J. Dwyer, and is currently on the National Register of Historic Places. The property features a Georgian revival facade with four and five stories that stretches over ten acres in the heart of West Hartford. With an extensive capital renovation strategy, the community will undergo updates that include refreshing the surrounding landscape, restyling furnishes throughout the communal areas, and implementing a new technology package to bring the property up to Aviva brand standards.

Chris Finlay, chairman/CEO of Lloyd Jones, says “As a developer of many historic properties throughout my career, I can truly say this is a gem. And we intend to polish it up even more for the benefit and enjoyment of our residents.”

In addition to the forthcoming enhancements, residents of AVIVA West Hartford can enjoy amenities that include a fully-stocked library, outdoor patio and walking trails, pub, movie theater, spacious chapel and worship space, and a full service salon and spa.

VIENNA, Va. – Shelters to Shutters (S2S), a national non-profit that provides talent for the multifamily real estate industry while transitioning individuals and families from homelessness to economic self-sufficiency, today announced a $100,000 donation from Miami, Fla.-based Lloyd Jones LLC, a real estate investment, development, and management firm specializing in multifamily and senior housing.

“This investment gives us the ability to bring our proven model to the Orlando area and begin operations with a local Executive Director and City Advisory Board. We are thrilled that Lloyd Jones is paving the way to make this growth possible. We believe this will be just the start of multifamily companies in Florida partnering with us to provide employment and housing opportunities to the deserving individuals we serve,” David Williams, President and CEO, Shelters to Shutters

S2S partners with over 40 apartment management companies – such as Lloyd Jones Multifamily Management, AvalonBay Communities, Gables Residential and Freeman Webb – to place people experiencing situational homelessness in on-site, entry-level jobs and provide them with housing at the same communities where they work. Each participant is provided with career mentoring and access to support services to ensure a successful long-term transition. S2S works with a number of homeless-focused non-profits to identify suitable job applicants, changing the lives of individuals and families and providing quality, motivated employees for a rapidly growing industry in need of talent.

“We are proud to partner with Shelters to Shutters to bring this impactful program to Florida,” said Chris Finlay, Lloyd Jones CEO. “As the demand for rental housing continues to rise in many U.S. markets, so does the need for qualified candidates to work in the property management industry. We look forward to working with Shelters to Shutters to find new talent to meet this growing demand for our industry while simultaneously changing lives for the better.”

Eighty-three percent of those experiencing homelessness in the U.S. are situationally homeless due to a life-altering event such as job loss, medical or health emergency, divorce, domestic abuse or the loss of a primary income earner. The donation from Lloyd Jones will help further ensure Shelters to Shutters can serve more people who want to work and return to a life of self-sufficiency.

Shelters to Shutters currently operates in five major markets: Atlanta, Charlotte, Houston, Nashville and the National Capital Region. Orlando will be the sixth market for Shelters to Shutters.
