Does Haven list off-market New York properties?+

What is the licensing process for senior housing in New York?+
New York licenses assisted living through two tracks: Adult Care Facilities (ACFs, including Enriched Housing Programs and Adult Homes) and Assisted Living Programs (ALPs, which provide a higher level of care). Both require NYSDOH approval. Haven's expertise in NY's complex dual-track system is essential for any NY transaction. New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) change-of-ownership processing typically takes 90–150 days after a complete application.
What cap rates should I expect in New York?+
New York stabilized ACF/ALP assets typically trade at 5–7% cap rates. NYC-metro and Westchester premium assets compress to 4.5–6%; Upstate NY (Buffalo, Rochester, Albany) and value-add assets trade at 7–9.5%. Haven provides free preliminary valuations.
How long does a New York senior housing transaction take?+
New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) change-of-ownership processing typically takes 90–150 days after a complete application. Most senior housing sales close in 90–150 days from engagement. The full change-of-ownership process, from application to new license, typically takes 90–180 days, so it starts early in the sale.
Can Haven help with financing for a New York acquisition?+
Yes. Haven's Capital Solutions team provides lender introductions for New York senior housing acquisitions — including bridge financing, conventional commercial loans, and HUD-insured loans for qualified larger facilities. We prepare lender-ready financial packages that account for New York's specific regulatory and market context.
