Sienna Announces The Opening of Its Long-Term Care Community Redevelopment in Brantford, Ontario

MARKHAM, Ontario, Oct. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sienna Senior Living Inc. ("Sienna" or the "Company") (TSX: SIA) announced today that it has officially opened its Oakwood Commons Community in Brantford, Ontario, the Company’s second long-term care redevelopment project completed in 2025.

Oakwood Commons is a 160-bed long-term care community, replacing 122 older Class C beds. Located on the banks of the Grand River, the thoughtfully designed property offers a compelling mix of urban amenities and rural appeal. All residents of the older Class C building have now moved to their new home and Sienna expects full occupancy at Oakwood Commons by the end of 2025.

“The addition of Oakwood Commons is another step in our efforts to upgrade our property portfolio and reflects our deep commitment to providing a modern and supportive environment for residents, their families and our team members,” said Nitin Jain, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sienna. “We are deeply thankful for all involved in helping us deliver this project on time and within budget, and in the successful transition of our residents to their beautiful new home.”

Oakwood Commons is part of Sienna’s campus of care development project, which includes Aspira Brants Landing Retirement Living, a 147-suite residence that opened last month. Together with the Company’s recently completed long-term care redevelopment project in North Bay, Sienna has added $220 million of greenfield development projects this year.

Once fully operational, each development project is expected to have a significant impact on our operating results and improve Sienna’s Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) by an average of approximately 3%.
