“As the new Co-chair of the Healthcare Product Council, I am excited to lead efforts to create a platform that will help familiarize all interested SVN colleagues with the fundamental aspects of the Seniors Housing & Care sector. This initiative aims to provide a deeper understanding of the unique dynamics and challenges within this sector, and highlight how it differs from other commercial real estate asset classes. I look forward to collaborating with our team to provide valuable insights and resources that will help further strengthen our collective expertise in this vital area of healthcare real estate” said Riso.
Riso’s appointment reflects SVN’s commitment to providing industry-leading expertise and services to its clients and colleagues.
