Healthpeak & Janus Living Announce Launch of Janus Living IPO

Healthpeak Properties, Inc. DOC announced that its pure-play RIDEA-structured senior housing REIT, Janus Living, has launched its initial public offering (IPO) of 37,000,000 shares of its Class A-1 common stock. This IPO is pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-11 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The IPO price is expected to be between $18-$20 per share. Janus Living plans to offer underwriters a 30-day option to buy up to an additional 5,550,000 shares of its Class A-1 common stock to cover any overallotments. Its Class A-1 common stock will be approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker “JAN,” subject to official notice of issuance.

Janus Living plans to deploy the net proceeds received from this proposed offering toward acquisition and investment opportunities that meet its investment criteria, as well as for general corporate needs.

Post-IPO, Healthpeak will own a combined total of roughly 214,734,000 shares of Janus Living's Class A-1 common stock and common units. This stake equates to about an 85.3% economic interest in Janus Living, or 83.4% if underwriters fully exercise their option.

Healthpeak spun out its senior housing assets in early 2026, into Janus Living to unlock value through a planned IPO. DOC serves as the external manager, earning a $10 million annual fee. Janus Living manages a portfolio of 34 communities with 10,422 units across 10 states, focusing on high-demand markets like Florida and Texas.
