Cogir Expands Its U.S. Presence with the Acquisition of Epoch Senior Living Management Platform

11 November 2025

Cogir Real Estate is pleased to announce the acquisition of Epoch Senior Living’s management platform, marking an important step in the company’s U.S. growth strategy.

The portfolio includes 16 senior living communities across Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, and New Hampshire, comprised of five independent living residences (Waterstone) and eleven memory care residences (Bridges). These modern and elegant communities are known for their stylish design, warm atmosphere, and exceptional service standards.

The existing Epoch team will remain in place, ensuring continuity, stability, and the preservation of the culture and values that have earned Epoch its outstanding reputation. Management and operations will continue to be run independently, maintaining the autonomy that has long defined the success of these communities.

The Epoch organization, with its over 1300 dedicated colleagues, brings deep expertise and seasoned management to Cogir’s growing North American operations. The company’s corporate culture and values align seamlessly with Cogir’s human-centered philosophy. Both organizations share a commitment to providing meaningful, compassionate care and to creating living environments where seniors can thrive — they are in this for the right reasons.

Though Cogir is a large and growing enterprise, its people-first culture makes it particularly fond of exclusive, boutique-style residences offering highly personalized service. This alignment makes Epoch’s Waterstone and Bridges communities a perfect complement to Cogir’s platform.

This acquisition also establishes a new platform from which Cogir intends to further develop its presence in the Northeastern United States, expanding its ability to offer high-quality retirement living options to a broader community of seniors.

“We are delighted with this transaction.” said Mathieu Duguay, CEO and CIO of Cogir Real Estate. “Epoch’s team and communities represent the very best in senior living, and together we will continue to grow while offering exceptional retirement experiences.”

With this milestone, Cogir continues its steady growth on American soil — guided by its purpose of creating vibrant, caring communities and delivering beautiful retirements for seniors across North America.
