WALTHAM, MA—Boston Real Estate Times today announced that it will host its 10th Annual Boston Senior Housing and Assisted Living Summit on March 20 at the Westin Hotel in Waltham, MA. Tom Grape, founder, chairman and CEO of Benchmark, will be the keynote speaker.
“On our 10th anniversary of the Senior Housing and Assisted Living Summit, we will also honor Mr. Grape with the Boston Real Estate Times’ Distinguished Services Award for being a pioneer and leading the senior housing and assisted living industry,” said Upendra Mishra, publisher of Boston Real Estate Times. “We are looking forward to honoring Mr. Grape and listening to an exciting panel of experts.”
Since 1997, Mr. Grape has led Benchmark to become the largest senior housing company in the Northeast. With 6,300 associates and nearly 60 communities across eight states, Benchmark has assets under management of over $2.5 billion.
