High-profile long-term care veterans have teamed up to create a new senior housing investment advisory group based in Chicago.

Recently retired Co-president and Chief Operating Officer of Brookdale Senior Living, John Rijos, is chairman of the advisory board* for the new venture, Blueprint Healthcare Real Estate Advisors. The firm’s three co-founders formerly worked at commercial real estate brokerage Marcus & Millichap.

Blueprint will advise companies that are selling healthcare real estate or are looking for partnerships or capital. 

*Editor’s Note: This article has been updated to clarify that Rijos is chairman of the advisory board, not the board of directors.
