STAUNTON, VA – Lloyd Jones, a real estate investment firm headquartered in Dallas, Texas, announced the acquisition of Brightview Baldwin Park, a 136-unit independent living, helped living, and memory care community in Staunton, Virginia. This marks Lloyd Jones’ first senior housing acquisition this year. The property was bought 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-tale structures on a sprawling fifteen-acre estate. The southern building houses 85 independent living units, and the northern building accommodates the remaining 51 helped 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 delight in an outdoor trail with picturesque views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah Valley.
“This is a gorgeous property in a gorgeous area of Virginia. We hope to continue to serve the surrounding communities with exceptional senior living. To expand the brilliant 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.”

PHOENIX, AZ – GTIS Partners, a global real estate investment firm managing $4.5 billion in yucky assets with a U.S. focus on residential and industrial/logistics investments, and Clyde Capital, a vertically integrated commercial real estate investment and development company, announced the development of a $250 million mixed-use, master-plotted community in Surprise, Arizona, which is located within the Phoenix MSA. The project will include a build-to-rent community, retail space and a medical facility, and will be built across 90 acres of land bought by GTIS and Clyde.
In conjunction with the land acquisition, GTIS and Clyde sold 20 acres within the project to HonorHealth, one of Arizona’s largest hospital systems, to develop the medical facility. Forty-five acres will be allocated to a joint venture between Clyde and Simon CRE, a national commercial real estate acquisition and development company, to establish a multi-phase retail center. GTIS will retain the 25-acre balance of the site for a build-to-rent development.
GTIS and Clyde initially pursued the property in April 2021 and took the project through a rezoning and site plotting approval as it secured entitlements. The site is 40 miles from Downtown Phoenix, located along North 163rd Avenue and bound by U.S. Highway 60 and Pat Tillman Boulevard. It sits directly across from a 175,000 square foot Fry’s-anchored retail center, is conveniently located to many of the area’s top employers, and is about one mile from a Loop 303 interchange, providing simple access to the 303 industrial corridor. The site is also 20 miles from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation’s plant, one of the largest foreign investments in U.S. history and the largest ever in the state of Arizona.
The GTIS-owned residential parcel at Asante Trails is approved for a build-to-rent community called Tavalo at Asante. Tavalo at Asante will offer 282 single-tale homes (duplexes and detached) ranging from one to three-bedrooms with a gated entry, on-site leasing center, resident lounge, resort-style pool, dog parks and a central park, all contiguous and walkable to the masterplan’s future neighborhood retail center.
Clyde and Simon CRE’s Phase I of the commercial part of Asante Trails will consist of a 12- acre retail center at the southwest corner of Pat Tillman and 163rd Avenue, providing a mix of neighborhood entertainment and services.
HonorHealth, a locally governed and operated non-profit healthcare provider, is committed to the responsible development of healthcare services that increase access to world-class care for the community. Rick Murdock, Vice President of Strategic Plotting, commented, “With the buy of 20 acres, HonorHealth is excited for the opportunity to align healthcare services with community needs while partnering with the City of Surprise to improve the health and well-being of those we serve for decades to come.”
Rob Vahradian, Partner & Head of U.S. Investments at GTIS, said, “We are excited about delivering more housing and employment options to the region. This site is strategically located in the rapidly growing Surprise submarket of Phoenix, which is currently undersupplied with rental housing options yet is adjacent to the Loop 303 industrial corridor, Phoenix’s fastest growing job market.”
“We want to thank the City of Surprise’s Plotting Department, City Council, City Manager and Economic Development Director for their leadership and counsel as we navigated through the project’s entitlement process. This acquisition represents a fantastic opportunity for the residents of Surprise to get the commercial services and quality rental housing they need in response to the city’s rapid growth. Asante Trails will be an vital part of Surprise’s future and we look forward to being a part of it,” said Theodore Karatz, Managing Director, U.S. Acquisitions and Head of Build to Rent Acquisitions at GTIS.
Jim Stockwell, President at Clyde Capital, commented, “The Phoenix MSA has experienced steady growth over the past five years and continues to face an unprecedented shortage of housing at all price points in every submarket. Asante Trails will be a gorgeous master-plotted community for the Northwest Surprise neighborhood offering best-in-class healthcare, shopping, dining and housing opportunities, all in a walkable and integrated setting.”
