BOSTON, MA (September 14, 2015) — Blue Moon Capital Partners LLC (“Blue Moon”), a leading senior housing private equity investor, announced today that it has closed on a $52.5 million development joint venture with affiliates of The Damone Group, LLC for the ground up development of a 180-unit independent living, assisted living and memory care campus in Northville, Michigan.
