About Blue Moon Capital Partners

Blue Moon Capital Partners is a real estate private equity firm in Boston, Massachusetts, and an affiliate of an SEC-registered investment adviser. Kathryn Sweeney and Susan Barlow founded it in 2013. Its specialized mandate is to match institutional capital with forward-thinking companies in the senior housing sector, and it was created in response to growing demand for senior-specific real estate driven by demographic shifts, notably the aging Baby Boomer population. For over a decade it has had a consistent presence in the institutional real estate market, developing and managing specialized housing assets, and it partners with experienced operators to deliver high-quality care environments. The firm targets the care-focused segments of senior housing: Independent Living (IL), Assisted Living (AL) and Memory Care (MC). Its strategy is to identify and fund best-in-class senior housing companies with operational excellence and a commitment to resident care, often through the Senior living specialist (SLS) model, which applies deep sector expertise to improve asset performance. Investment activity is centered on the United States, with exposure to wider market trends through strategic partnerships that may extend into Europe. Because it concentrates exclusively on senior housing, it takes a value-add and core-plus approach so that each asset meets residents' clinical and lifestyle needs while delivering stable returns to institutional partners. Organizationally, the firm is an investment vehicle for institutional investors that include pension funds and large-scale asset managers. It has handled complex recapitalizations and portfolio-level transactions, such as multi-asset continuation vehicles involving numerous senior housing communities. A lean, highly specialized team in the Boston office oversees a geographically diverse property portfolio, and collaboration with global investment firms helps scale its senior housing initiatives across jurisdictions. By staying with its core competency, Blue Moon Capital Partners has built a platform linking institutional-scale capital with the operational demands of the senior living industry, aiming for long-term stability and growth in its chosen asset class.
