Senior Living

Otten Johnson assists developers in navigating the complex financial, tax and regulatory environment related to developing senior housing facilities. We work closely with owners, developers, lenders, land use planners and investors on the development and financing of senior living, senior resorts, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities across the United States. We also represent developers of age-restricted planned communities and condominiums. The attorneys in our litigation group also have experience resolving construction disputes, including litigating design/construction defect cases and other construction damages actions. Otten Johnson’s corporate attorneys can also assist senior living facility developers with their corporate needs, including entity formation and tax issues.
