Christopher Bilotto, president and CEO of Diversified Healthcare Trust, discussed the company’s performance and strategy at Nareit’s REITweek: 2026 Investor Conference in June 2026. He cited occupancy and rate growth as key drivers for the senior housing portfolio, with expanding margins presenting additional potential. Bilotto noted the company had divested properties over the past year, curating a portfolio focused on outpatient medical office facilities, and expressed optimism about the sector’s fundamentals. He also mentioned that the company raised its guidance for the year, partly due to expense initiatives across the portfolio. In earlier appearances, Bilotto addressed the company’s balance sheet and operational changes. At Nareit’s REITworld: 2025 Annual Conference in December 2025, he described a supply-constrained environment supporting occupancy growth in senior housing and medical office portfolios. He discussed deleveraging efforts, including agency financing and property sales, and noted the company had no debt maturities until 2028. Bilotto also spoke about the transition following his largest operator’s announcement to sell its business, with seven new operators selected to manage communities, five of which were new to the company. In a December 2025 podcast with MIT Center for Real Estate, he reiterated the focus on deleveraging through divestments and improved performance, and highlighted the company’s $6.8 billion portfolio spanning medical offices, life science labs, and senior housing across 34 states.
