SAN DIEGO, Aug. 24, 2026 – JLL’s Capital Markets group announced today that it has completed the sale of a premier two-property senior housing portfolio totaling 545 units in San Jose and Roseville, California.
JLL represented the seller, a joint venture between Affinius Capital and Alliance Residential Company, and procured the buyer, a publicly traded real estate investment trust.
The transaction represents one of the largest senior housing portfolio sales in Northern California in recent years and underscores the institutional investment community's appetite for modern, well-located assets developed by proven sponsors in demographically superior markets.
The portfolio comprises Sonrisa Senior Living, a 345-unit campus in Roseville spanning independent living (201 units), assisted living (120 units) and memory care (24 units) across two buildings delivered in 2021 and 2023, and The Watermark at Almaden, a 200-unit fully licensed independent living, assisted living and memory care community in San Jose that opened in 2021. The communities feature exceptional amenities such as outdoor pools, state-of-the-art fitness centers, bocce ball and pickleball courts, full-service salons and spa, theaters and gourmet dining venues.
Sonrisa Senior Living is strategically located at 1031 and 1041 Roseville Parkway in the Sacramento MSA with exceptional visibility and direct connectivity to Interstate 80 and Highway 65. The surrounding 15-mile primary market area boasts an average household income of $146,802 and median home value of $643,994, with the age 75+ population projected to grow 20.9% by 2031.
The Watermark at Almaden is located at 4610 Almaden Expressway in San Jose, offering exceptional visibility with convenient access to upscale retail and grocery destinations. The surrounding 15-mile primary market area features an average household income of $239,555, median home value of $1.55 million and average net worth of $3.13 million for households age 75+, with the qualified seniors population projected to grow 20.2% by 2031.
The JLL Senior Housing Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Senior Managing Director Aaron Rosenzweig, along with Senior Director Dan Baker and Analyst Sandis Seale.
"This transaction exemplifies Alliance Residential Company and Affinius Capital's ability to develop and position institutional-quality senior housing assets that command premium valuations from sophisticated capital sources," said Rosenzweig.
