A seniors housing portfolio in Michigan traded hands with the help of Dan Geraghty, Brad Clousing and Jeff Binder of Senior Living Investment Brokerage. Set in secondary markets, the portfolio consists of four late-1990s vintage properties that are well maintained and well regarded in their respective communities. They also experienced continued occupancy growth throughout 2025 but still represented an opportunity for a new regional owner/operator to hit the ground running in boosting performance through a hands-on management approach and leveraging existing referral networks. A national owner/operator deemed the portfolio no longer fit with its long-term operational objectives and slated... Read More »
Two Central Florida Communities Trade
