About Doyenne

Doyenne Healthcare Capital (“DHC”), forms strategic partnerships with institutional capital partners looking to deploy capital in healthcare real estate. The company serves as the healthcare real estate vertical for its strategic partners, providing them with a comprehensive suite of services, including acquisitions, underwriting, asset management, dispositions and fund reporting. The founders of DHC invest their own capital in each transaction alongside strategic partners.

The founding partners of DHC, Kristen Ahrens and Manisha Bathija, have both spent the greater part of their careers focused on seniors housing and healthcare real estate. They share a common goal of providing aging Americans with safe, supportive, and life-enhancing housing solutions. Having both experienced senior living through respective family members, they understand intimately how important high quality senior living settings are to both residents and family members alike. Together, they have a combined 45+ years of experience in healthcare real estate investments and have completed transactions in excess of $60 billion. Their experience ranges from originations, underwriting, due diligence and capital raising to lending, reporting and asset management.

DHC’s first strategic partnership, a joint venture with a leading private real estate investment firm, is focused on investments in seniors housing communities with strong operating partners.

DHC, headquartered in Chicago, IL, is a women and minority owned company that was founded in 2022.
