Daniel Morris of Plains Commercial Real Estate facilitated the sale of a seniors housing community in Sterling, Illinois. Built in 2001, Avonlea Cottage Assisted Living comprises 30 assisted living units and was being sold as part of a receivership process. The facility has been well maintained physically, but was in need of operational adjustments.
Plains was engaged by the receiver, Mike Flanagan, to market and sell the facility. The buyer is Shepherd Senior Living, an Illinois-based owner/operator with a specialty focus on smaller, residential-feel assisted living communities with operations in Illinois and Wisconsin.
