Existing Partnership Adds Two Georgia Seniors Housing Communities

 

November 4, 2025 – An affiliate of Scribner Capital, LLC (“Scribner”) and William James Group, LLC (“WJG”) acquired two seniors housing communities in Athens and Fayetteville, Georgia. Scribner provided co-sponsor equity and leveraged its network of family-office and high-net-worth investors to provide the limited partner equity. WJG provided co-sponsor equity as well and will operate the communities on behalf of the venture.

 

Both communities are located in growing, supply-constrained submarkets. The partnership acquired and rebranded two communities: The Haven at Fayetteville, a 62-unit assisted living and memory care community, and The Haven at Cedar Shoals, a 40-unit assisted living community. The portfolio complements three (3) other communities owned by an affiliate of the sponsor and seven (7) communities operated by WJG in Georgia.

 

The Sponsor’s business plan includes a capital improvement program focused on (i) upgrading the entrances to enhance first impressions, (ii) replacing flooring and lighting in common areas, (iii) repurposing underutilized spaces to improve operational efficiency, and (iv) enhancing the landscaping and courtyards. These improvements are intended to preserve the communities’ competitive position in the market as well as enhance resident and staff satisfaction.

 

While the communities are stabilized and have historically performed well, the combination of capital investment along with identified areas of improvement on both the revenue and expenses sides created a compelling acquisition opportunity.

 

Marcel Tremble, Co-Founder/CEO, William James Group, said, "We are thrilled to expand our relationship with Scribner and our Georgia presence. We anticipate continued opportunities to expand the partnership and acquire similar assets throughout the southeast.”

 

“These two communities are a perfect addition to our existing partnership. WJG has been an incredible partner over the past three plus years, and we look forward to continuing to find more opportunities to collaborate. This a great example of our ability to deliver both co-sponsor capital as well as joint venture equity to a growing operator,” said Mr. Scribner.

 

In addition to Scribner’s capital solutions with its institutional capital partner, it can also provide flexible sponsor-level capital and joint venture equity through its proprietary network of accredited investors.

Existing Venture Acquires Third Georgia Seniors Housing Community

 

APRIL 2, 2024 - Scribner Capital, LLC (“Scribner”) and William James Group, LLC (“WJG”) acquired Insignia of Newnan, which will be rebranded as The Haven at Newnan. The Haven at Newnan is being added to an existing joint venture that previously acquired two Georgia seniors housing communities.

 

Simultaneously with the transaction, Scribner and WJG acquired the remaining general partner equity interest thereby increasing their commitment to the venture.

 

The Haven at Newnan, consisting of 40 assisted living and memory care units, is stable with an excellent reputation for care and a strong on-site team. In 2022, the partnership acquired River Place, a 40-unit assisted living and memory care community, and Sunny Grove, a 34-unit assisted living and memory care community; both communities have maintained strong occupancy and cash flow since our acquisition. The portfolio is strategically located between Atlanta, Macon and Columbus.

 

The Haven at Newnan was recently updated on the interior. The business plan includes replacing the roof and gutters, updating the front porch and entrance as well as lighting, landscaping and signage to complement the updated interiors.

 

Jimmy Justice, Co-Founder of William James Group, said, "We are excited about the opportunity to add Haven at Newnan to the William James Group portfolio. We anticipate more opportunities to expand the partnership and acquire similar assets throughout the southeast.”

 

“We have been looking for the right situation to expand our Georgia portfolio and the Newnan community presented an exceptional opportunity. We were fortunate to have great partners to consummate a transaction in a difficult capital market environment,” said Mr. Scribner.

 

This marks the 16th seniors housing equity investment by Scribner to go along with three debt investments. In addition to Scribner’s capital solutions with its institutional capital partner, it can also provide flexible sponsor-level capital and joint venture equity through its proprietary network of accredited investors.
