Michael Marriott, Co-Founder
Blueprint Development Partners was built to take the ILF model from education into acquisition, development, and management — at scale.
Blueprint Development Partners sources, builds, and operates independent living facilities through three acquisition paths: ground-up development on vacant land, hotel-to-ILF conversions, and home-to-ILF conversions. We're actively bringing on capital partners across our current pipeline.
Every project starts one of three ways. Each path ends at the same outcome — a licensed, professionally managed independent living facility.
We acquire vacant parcels and build new-construction hotels or purpose-built independent living facilities from the ground up.
We acquire well-located or underperforming hotels and convert them into licensed independent living facilities.
We acquire single-family homes — including larger character properties — and convert them into smaller-scale ILFs.
Before any acquisition or partnership, we study the property first — zoning, licensing, and profit potential — starting at no cost to you.
Every acquisition needs capital before it needs construction. We bring on capital partners for each deal, and structure the real estate differently depending on the project.
Blueprint purchases the land, hotel, or home outright and manages the project through construction, licensing, and operations.
The seller or capital partner retains their position in the property, and is repaid from the income the completed ILF generates once it's operating.
Blueprint and a capital partner co-invest in the acquisition and development, sharing in the completed asset.
Structure and terms are set on a per-project basis in discussion with each capital partner or seller.

We review your property against licensing and zoning requirements and discuss what a partnership could look like.
Blueprint manages permitting, construction, and licensing to bring the property up to ILF standard.
