Sessions

REIT-led SHOP operating models are creating new pathways for operators to pursue growth, along with evolving expectations around governance, reporting, and operational readiness. This session offers a practical, high-level overview of how SHOP arrangements are typically evaluated and implemented, what operators should be prepared to demonstrate, and how to build productive, transparent working relationships between owners and operators.

Panelists will discuss common compliance and reporting considerations (including SOX-related topics where applicable), the internal capabilities and systems that may be needed to support these arrangements, and key areas to address when aligning on roles, responsibilities, and performance expectations. REIT and operator leaders will also share perspectives on how SHOP participation can influence broader business planning, capital alignment, and growth approaches. Attendees will leave with a clearer framework for assessing whether a SHOP model aligns with their organization’s strategy and readiness.
