Related Companies in Conjunction with Atria Senior Living and Welltower Close on Strategic Partnership for two Silicon Valley Developments in Santa Clara and Cupertino

TOLEDO, Ohio, March 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A joint venture between Related Companies and Atria Senior Living (the "Related|Atria JV"), in conjunction with Welltower Inc. (NYSE: WELL), this quarter signed a strategic partnership to develop two world class senior living communities in Silicon Valley, one in Santa Clara, CA ("Santa Clara Development") and the other in Cupertino, CA ("Cupertino Development"), as part of a larger strategic partnership among the three companies. The Related|Atria JV was formed in 2018 to develop, own and operate modern urban communities catering to seniors living in major metropolitan areas. The Santa Clara and Cupertino Developments will be the third and fourth locations for the joint venture's new series of upscale senior living communities after the newly opened Coterie Cathedral Hill at 1001 Van Ness in San Francisco and Coterie Hudson Yards at 451 10th Avenue in New York City which will open later in 2022.

The 191-unit Santa Clara Development is immediately adjacent to a larger fully entitled 9.2 million square foot urban development by Related who commenced entitlement and pre-development work on the urban plan in 2015. Related Santa Clara will create an unparalleled new mixed-use downtown for Silicon Valley, consisting of traditional office and medical office buildings, hotel rooms, multifamily housing and retail amenities. At the apex of Silicon Valley and the growing East Bay, the Santa Clara Development is conveniently located to numerous commuting options, including a wide variety of public transit and proximity to Highways 237, 101 and Interstate 880. The senior living development is expected to break ground mid- 2022 with completion projected by 2024.

Pre-development of the 158-unit Cupertino Development began in 2019 with plans of construction start by the end of 2022 and completion in 2024. Situated on a well-located corner of Stevens Creek Boulevard, Cupertino's major thoroughfare and State Route 85, as well as adjacent to the Cupertino Senior Center, Cupertino Memorial Park, and De Anza College, this development will grant seniors unrivaled access to the best of Cupertino's amenities with convenient connectivity to Silicon Valley. The Cupertino Development will also include an outdoor community park.
