Ottawa's east end has a new owner behind one of its newer seniors residences.
The numbers behind the deal
The purchase price works out to roughly $560,000 per suite. The transaction also includes an additional $10-million earnout that depends on the property exceeding certain financial targets. Sienna says it plans to finance the acquisition using cash on hand along with its existing credit facilities. The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026.
A nearly full building
Stonemont on the Park opened in 2024 and has quickly filled up, with the residence now approximately 99 per cent occupied.
Part of a bigger Ontario push
This is Sienna's fifth acquisition in Ontario so far in 2026, part of a broader expansion strategy the company has been executing across the province. Sienna President and CEO Nitin Jain said the Stonemont purchase "further expands Sienna's retirement platform in a key market." Following this transaction, Sienna says it will have added approximately $1.2 billion in assets through acquisitions and developments since 2025.
The company is also backing a $625-million joint venture partnership with Fiera Infrastructure aimed at accelerating long-term care redevelopments, a separate but related piece of Sienna's overall growth plan in the seniors care sector.
What it means for Ottawa
Sienna employs approximately 15,500 people across its operations, and the addition of a nearly-full, 305-suite residence in Ottawa's east end is a meaningful bet on the local seniors housing market specifically. For Ottawa residents with aging parents or who are themselves looking ahead to retirement living options, a well-capitalized national operator taking over a high-occupancy property can mean more investment in amenities and services down the line, though Sienna has not detailed specific plans for Stonemont beyond the acquisition itself.
The deal also reflects a wider pattern of consolidation in Canada's seniors living sector, where larger operators with access to capital markets have been buying up individual properties from smaller developers.
No further details on staffing, pricing for residents, or operational changes at Stonemont were included in the announcement.
