  3. The acquisition lifts Optima and Axium's jointly held portfolio to 30 seniors living communities across Western Canada, and it is the DGAM infrastructure fund's second investment with the two partners in the sector.

The acquisition lifts Optima and Axium's jointly held portfolio to 30 seniors living communities across Western Canada, and it is the DGAM infrastructure fund's second investment with the two partners in the sector. The partners said the transaction more than doubles their collective investment in seniors living and care infrastructure.
