Summary
According to The Business Journals, Mission Driven Finance acquired a four-building property in New Mexico through its real estate investment trust focused on child care. The property houses a Montessori school with a 150-seat campus. The seller and the purchase price were not disclosed in the report, and the article describes the transaction as the REIT's first entry into the state.
The REIT is described as a California-based vehicle. Publisher-context materials on the same platform describe the CARE Investment Trust, founded in 2023, as a child care investment strategy within a diversified real estate portfolio of more than $100 million, aimed at providing affordable properties to childcare providers. The acquisition is consistent with that stated strategy of owning facilities leased to operators in the child care sector.
The acquisition takes place against a backdrop of state-level policy support for child care infrastructure. Per KRQE, the New Mexico Department of Higher Education is investing millions of dollars to expand child care across the state, and the Department has announced $10 million in new investments to expand childcare infrastructure on college campuses. These developments suggest sustained public demand for child care facilities in the state. The publisher context also references other real estate activity in New Mexico, including CareTrust REIT's acquisition of two skilled nursing facilities, but those transactions involve healthcare rather than child care properties and are not part of this deal.
