SAN DIEGO, Apr. 1, 2026 – JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged the sale of The Commons on Thornton and The Commons at Union Ranch, two seniors housing communities totaling 198 units in California’s Central Valley.
JLL’s Seniors Housing Capital Markets team represented the seller, MBK Senior Living, in the sale of the portfolio to a commingled fund managed by Clarion Partners.
“We are pleased to add The Commons on Thornton and The Commons at Union Ranch to our growing seniors housing portfolio,” said Clarion Partners Head of Healthcare Julie Robinson. “These high-quality, well-occupied communities benefit from strong in-place operations, attractive amenity offerings and locations within demographically favorable submarkets of California’s Central Valley. This acquisition reflects our continued conviction in seniors housing, where we see durable demand supported by aging population trends and a shift toward needs-based care.”
The Commons on Thornton was completed in 2004 and consists of a two-story building housing 100 assisted living and memory care units in a variety of floor plans. The 94%-occupied property is situated on a 3.81-acre site at 10711 Thornton Rd. in Stockton, close to Interstate 5, Sutter Health and a variety of retail amenities.
Completed in 2008, The Commons at Union Ranch offers 98 units of assisted living and memory care in a two-story building. The property is 97% occupied and sits on 3.8-acres at 2241 N Union Rd. in Manteca. The Commons at Union Ranch benefits from its location directly adjacent to the 1,400-plus Woodbridge by Del Webb 55+ community.
Residents at both properties have access to chef-prepared meals, a full-service dining room, casual bistro, coffee bar, fitness center, walking paths, garden areas, computer lounge, library, beauty salon and barber shop, game room and movie room.
