Columbia Pacific Communities on Expansion Mode in India

Columbia Pacific Management, a Seattle-based international healthcare provider, and an affiliated company, plans to expand its wings into the Indian senior housing market. Embarking on a significant expansion plan in the country, the company plans to set up its first senior living community designed to international standards and practices in Bangalore.

After the successful acquisition of Serene Retirement homes in 2017, Columbia Pacific Communities, today, serves 1600 residential homes in nine communities, which are spread across five cities in south India.

Commenting on the plans for setting up its first signature project in India, Dan Baty, founder, Columbia Pacific Management and Columbia Pacific Advisors, and a pioneer in the senior living industry, said that with their time tested expertise in planning and executing senior living projects across Asia, Canada and the US, they bring strong legacy with them in India, which holds over 40 years of rich experience. They are positive that their first ever community in the landscape will shape their entire presence, globally, he said.

Speaking about the potential in India, Mohit Nirula, CEO, Columbia Pacific Communities, said, that they have had the privilege of and successfully served their residents in the Serene Communities over the last two years. Announcing their first Columbia Pacific Communities’ signature property gives him immense joy as they bring a new solution – product, services and medical care to cater to the growing middle class guided by their principals’ expertise and the highest international standards, he said.

Columbia Pacific Communities brings with it 40 years of rich global expertise, and presents an opportunity to be affordable, yet a premium senior living solution in India.
