Sienna Senior Living Partners with Fiera Infrastructure for $625M Long-Term Care Redevelopments — Sienna Senior Living Inc.

Event summary

Sienna Senior Living has formed a joint venture with Fiera Infrastructure to expedite long-term care redevelopments in Ontario.
The initial target is $625 million in aggregate construction costs, including two projects in the Greater Toronto Area totaling $375 million.
Each project will be equally financed by Sienna and CBOF, with Sienna managing development and operations.
The partnership aims to modernize aging infrastructure and expand long-term care capacity in Ontario.

The big picture

This joint venture allows Sienna to leverage institutional capital to accelerate its redevelopment pipeline, addressing Ontario’s aging infrastructure while benefiting from demographic tailwinds. Fiera Infrastructure gains exposure to resilient, inflation-protected cash flows in the social infrastructure sector. The partnership underscores the growing trend of private capital investing in essential healthcare facilities.
